Abstract
A new scheme for retrieval of wave spectra in coastal seas from HF radar data has been developed which is capable of measuring directional wave spectra even from the data of the single antenna array. It does this by making use of a wave propagation model to link wave spectra, and therefore also HF radar Doppler spectra at different points in space. The resulting scheme processes all HF radar data within the area covered by the system simultaneously. In coastal applications, the method offers increased flexibility in the radar configuration and improved coverage. Tests are reported on simulated HF radar data, and a first application to HF radar data collected near Holderness on the English east coast is reported.
