Abstract
In this work a set of coherent and polarimetric sea clutter data is analyzed with a special interest for sea-spikes. Using three sea-spikes defining parameters, the spike amplitude, the minimum spike width and the minimum interval between spikes, it is possible to positively identify the spiking events from the background. This work shows a sample of results from a statistical and spectral analysis of a set of sea-spikes selected from the radar returns, focusing on their Doppler properties, the spike duration and the temporal interval between spikes.
