  • Abstract
    This paper presents a first look at directional wave spectra measurements, and derived parameters, obtained using the Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network WERA HF radar systems and the Seaview Sensing software package. Selected examples show that such measurements can be made and include bimodal and swell-dominated cases. Some issues limiting their availability and accuracy are discussed.
