Abstract :
A detailed investigation of the differences between the upwind and downwind Doppler spectra of the radar sea echo has been made, utilizing 
, 
, and 
-band data obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory\´s Four-Frequency Radar System. The results indicate that while the Doppler bandwidth is nearly independent of wind direction, the differential Doppler looking upwind is nearly twice that for the downwind case.
