  2. Doppler Measurements • Conventional (SI-TEX/Koden) marine radar modified to digitally record IF signal at 160 MSPS • Doppler shift measured using pulse-pair processing • Coherence time is increased by replacing standard local oscillator with more stable (MITEQ) source • Standard horizontally-polarized antenna was also replaced by a custom vertically-polarized antenna

  3. Polar Fourier Transform (PFT) • Doppler data from rotating antenna is processed in native polar (range-azimuth) coordinates • After resampling onto a regular azimuthal grid, data is spatially Fourier transformed using where w(r,   ) is a weighting or aperture function used to select an optimal range of viewing angles for estimating each Fourier component

  4. Surface Elevation PFT • The surface elevation is related to the radial velocity through the dynamic free-surface boundary condition where  is the velocity potential function obtained by integrating the radial velocity in the range direction • /t is computed in Fourier space by multiplying the radial velocity PFT by /kwhereis obtained from the rate of change of the PFT phase at each wavenumber

  5. Flow Chart / Timing modified Koden radar radar preprocessor resample onto uniform angular grid compute radial velocity PFT compute frequency and average PFT convert to surface elevation PFT • Each antenna rotation produces one frame of radar data • Frames are processed in real time, producing one complete PFT every 2.5 sec

  6. Wavefield Reconstruction • Wavefield can be reconstructed at the time of measurement by inverse transforming the surface elevation PFT • Note that different wave components are measured at different spatial locations (upwave from the radar)

  7. Wavefield Prediction • Wavefield can also be constructed at a later time by advancing the phase of each Fourier component by t • As time progresses, wave components begin to converge at a spatial location near the radar

  8. LIDAR Comparisons surface elevations measured by Scripps airborne lidar from 1:03:26-1:03:46 on 9/13/2013 surface elevations obtained from radar measurements collected at 1:02:28 UTC on 9/13/2013

  9. Buoy Comparisons ship track (red) and drifting buoy positions (blue) for the period 23:10-23:25 UTC on 9/17/2013 surface elevations measured by buoy from 23:20-23:22 UTC and predicted from radar data collected at 23:18:32 UTC on 9/17/2013

  10. Conclusions • Surface wavefields can be inferred from shipboard Doppler radar measurements over areas on the order of a few km2 • Instantaneous measurements of different wave components do not overlap spatially because each component is measured upwave from the radar • However, when the measurements are projected forward in time, these components merge to produce a nearly complete picture of the wavefield at locations near the radar
