This paper proposes an algorithm based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) network to improve the quality of high-frequency surface wave radar current measurements. In order to address the limitations of traditional high-frequency radar inversion algorithms, which solely rely on electromagnetic inversion and disregard physical oceanography, this study incorporates a bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and towed ADCP into LSTM training. Additionally, wind and tidal oceanography data were included as inputs. This study compared high-frequency radar current data before and after calibration. The results indicated that both towed and bottom-mounted ADCP enhanced the quality of HF radar monitoring data. By comparing two methods of calibrating radar, we found that less towed ADCP data input is required for the same high-frequency radar data calibration effect. Furthermore, towed ADCP has a significant advantage in calibrating high-frequency radar data due to its low cost and wide calibration range. However, as the location of the calibrated high-frequency radar data moves further away from the towing position, the calibration error also increases. This article conducted sensitivity studies on the times and different positions of using towed ADCP to calibrate high-frequency radar data, providing reference for the optimal towing path and towing time for future corrections of high-frequency radar data.
