摘要

Abstract

A new ocean wave and sea surface current monitoring system with horizontally-(HH) and vertically-(VV) polarized X-band radar was developed. Two experiments into the use of the radar system were carried out at two sites

respectively

for calibration process in Zhangzi Island of the Yellow Sea

and for validation in the Yellow Sea and South China Sea. Ocean wave parameters and sea surface current velocities were retrieved from the dual polarized radar image sequences based on an inverse method. The results obtained from dual-polarized radar data sets acquired in Zhangzi Island are compared with those from an ocean directional buoy. The results show that ocean wave parameters and sea surface current velocities retrieved from radar image sets are in a good agreement with those observed by the buoy. In particular

it has been found that the vertically-polarized radar is better than the horizontally-polarized radar in retrieving ocean wave parameters

especially in detecting the significant wave height below 1.0 m.
