Radar Measurement of Waves and Currents in the Nearshore Zone

Abstract

The objectives of this effort are (1) to analyze radar data collected during NCEX and related deployments to determine how Doppler radar techniques can provide useful estimates of nearshore currents within and beyond the surf zone, and (2) to develop and apply Doppler radar techniques to large area surface wave and current mapping in the nearshore environment.
