RADAR IMAGING THEORIES AND PRINCIPLES OF OCEAN WAVES CAPILLARY WAVES AND TYPES OF RADAR
Abstract: Capillary waves caused by the wind were measured in a wave tank. The capillary waves' height, slope, and frequency composition were all measured. The wave heights (from trough to crest) were found to be between 0.06 and 8.8 mm for winds between 2.2 and 7.6 m/sec. Wind speed affects the distribution of frequencies (wavelengths), with more high frequency waves occurring at faster wind speeds. An S-shaped curve with the sharply …
