Abstract :
One of the main objectives of the Coastal Ocean Probing Experiment was to observe internal wave (IW) manifestations by using microwave radiometers mounted on a blimp. IW parameters were simultaneously measured directly by R/V FLIP and by Ka-band and X-band doppler radar from the shore. Comparison with in situ data permits us to determine IW speed and the phase of surface roughness modulation with respect to near-surface currents
