Understand how radar can map ocean wave direction and show detailed, continuous image data.
This nonfiction work explains a radar system designed to automatically record the direction of coastal waves. It covers how imagery reveals wave trains and the practical benefits of unattended operation for coastal engineering research.
The book outlines the CERC radar system and how Bragg scattering on the sea surface produces usable wave information. It discusses factors that affect radar range, image clarity, and how radar data compares with aerial photos and conventional wave gauges. The material aims to help engineers assess when imaging radar is the right tool for coastal studies.
- How radar images capture wave crests and direction, including long-crested wave trains.
- Conditions that influence image quality, range, and radar elevation choices.
- Ways radar data can be validated against other observational methods.
- Practical considerations for automating radar-based wave direction measurements.
Ideal for readers of coastal engineering research, radar imaging, and field data collection methods.
