  • Abstract
    A detailed investigation of the differences between the upwind and downwind Doppler spectra of the radar sea echo has been made, utilizing P- , L- , and C -band data obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory\´s Four-Frequency Radar System. The results indicate that while the Doppler bandwidth is nearly independent of wind direction, the differential Doppler looking upwind is nearly twice that for the downwind case.
