HEADRICK, SENIOR MEMBER, IEEE, ROBERT W. BOGLE, DOUGLASS D. CROMBIE AND Abstract-Theories and concepts for utilization of HF sea echo are compared and tested against surface-wave measurements made from San Clemente Island in the Pacific in a joint NRL/ITS/NOAA Although the heights of ocean waves are generally small experiment.

Features of the higher order Doppler spectrum can be employed to deduce the nonetheless surprisingly large and readily interpretable in principal parameters of the wave-height directional. spectrum (i.e., terms of its Doppler features. The fact that these heights are sea state); and it is shown that significant wave height can be read small facilitates the analysis of scatter using the perturbation from the spectral records. Finally, it is shown that surface currents approximation.
