The shallow waters of the nearshore ocean are popular, dynamic, and often hostile.
Prediction in this domain is usually limited less by our understanding of the physics or by the …

The evolution of a random directional wave in deep water was studied in a laboratory wave
tank (50 m long, 10 m wide, 5 m deep) utilizing a directional wave generator. A number of …

Data from a cliff top radar experiment conducted off the south coast of England are
examined in order to investigate the applicability of a three-component model for radar …

Map** the morphology of intertidal areas is a logistically challenging, time consuming and
expensive task due to their large expanse and difficulties associated with access. A …

In this paper three sets of high-resolution, coherent, and polarimetric radar sea clutter data
are analyzed and compared with radar sea clutter models. The nature of the data allows a …

A model is presented for the Doppler spectra of low grazing angle radar backscatter from the
sea surface, and is compared with data collected in the large wind–wave tank at the Ocean …

A complete facet model for the backscattering from rough sea surface with breaking waves is
proposed in this paper. In consideration of the spatial distribution of breaking waves on sea …

It is known that the major difficulty of sea clutter simulation is the controlled generation of a
continuous correlated non-Gaussian random process. In particular, for sea clutter at low …

Observations of microwave backscatter from shoaling and breaking surface waves acquired
with a shore-based, coherent-on-receive X-band marine radar are presented. The radar was …

The effective normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of breaking waves, σ wb, is empirically
derived based on joint synchronized Ka-band radar and video records of the sea surface …
