Abstract
The European Radar Ocean Sensing (EuroROSE) project is presented. The project was designed to monitor and forecast sea state conditions in coastal areas, in particular port approaches. The aim was to provide area-covering information to traffic managers and search and rescue organizations, using ground based radar and numerical models in combination with data assimilation techniques
