Abstract :
Detection of small targets in coastal waters is generally more difficult than in open waters. One reason for this might be the different behaviour of the sea waves as the sea waves are not fully developed in closed waters. The paper presents a comparison of measured sea clutter and wave rider buoy data in open sea and coastal waters
