Abstract :
A microwave radar capable of yielding spectral decompositions of large wave properties such as slope or orbital velocity is currently being built for installation over looking the Chesapeake Bay. The principle of this radar, the simple embodiment which is actually being built, and a description of the wave properties one might hope to measure with this radar are all discussed.
