Abstract
We present preliminary results of our efforts to measure ring-waves generated by natural rain. Winds at sea are monitored by remote sensing of radars observing sea surface roughness. Yet rain also roughens the sea surface. Improved understanding of sea-surface roughness during rain contributes to better measurements of winds and rain at sea.
