ASSISTANCE OF MARINE RADAR TO SEA STATE MONITORING

This paper explores the feasibility of using marine radar for on board sea-state monitoring. An algorithm for detecting dominant ocean wave direction based on an analysis of radar echoes from the sea surface is proposed for this purpose. The authors indicate that the validity of the algorithm has been confirmed theoretically and experimentally.
