Abstract

This work uses ordinary X-band marine radars to extract directional wave spectra and their related sea state parameters, as well as speed and direction of ocean surface currents, including tidal information. The used method analyzes the structure in frequency and wave number vector of the image spectra derived from of temporal sequences of marine radar images of the sea surface acquired by a marine radar system. The presented data and the related results were measured from a research platform located in the North Sea. In addition, the work presents some comparisons between sea state parameters derived from the marine radar analysis and the equivalent sea sate parameter obtained from in-situ wave sensor records.
