Radar Measurement of Waves and Currents in the Nearshore Zone
Abstract
The objectives of this effort are to determine the extent to which Doppler radar techniques can be exploited for both qualitative and quantitative nearshore measurement applications. Of particular interest are estimates of surf zone location, extent, surface currents, and wave parameters. To date, optical (video) techniques have been the primary remote sensing technology for these applications. An advantage of radar is its all-weather, day-night operability.
