Abstract
Sensors for remote sensing of ocean wave directional spectra are needed for global wave forecasting application. Backscatter from off-nadir, short pulse, radar-illuminated ocean waves gives the wave impulse response. Wave slope and wave length can be determined from the applitude time radar signature. Analysis of some preliminary wave spectral data taken with a 10 nanosecond aircraft mounted radar will be compared with wave spectra derived from laser prolifometer measurements.
