Abstract :
Describes improvements that have been made to a method of inversion of the HF radar Doppler spectrum to provide a measurement of the ocean wave directional spectrum. The ability to make such measurements over the whole HF band using the same inversion method is demonstrated. Measurements obtained in storm conditions, in fetch-limited conditions and in mixed swell, wind-sea conditions are presented. The accuracy of these measurements is discussed
