| Abstract: | This paper reports on the application of coastal radar systems operating in the short-wave frequency band (wavelengths from 10 to 100 m), designed to determine the parameters of wind fields over the sea surface, as well as those of waves and currents. The regularities of radar signal generation by the sea surface and the propagation of short-frequency radiowaves are discussed. The possibility of employing radars in oceanography (including CODAR systems), using ionospheric and ground beams, is considered.Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin. |
