Abstract :
This work presents the estimation of wave field properties derived from X-band marine radar measurements taken close to coastal locations, where the wave fields are affected by the finite water depth conditions. The work is focused on the detection of individual waves and their related characteristics, such as the estimation of the local and instantaneous wave envelope derived from the wave elevation fields estimated from X-band marine radar time series.
