Abstract
The authors conducted a sea clutter trial using a DSTO (Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Australia) built, vertically polarised, L-band, 16-channel receive array in May 2008 on the Kangaroo Island, South Australia. This paper studies some properties of the collected sea clutter, with an emphasis on observations of the interaction of electromagnetic waves with changes of the sea surface due to changes in observation direction and/or variation of wind.
