Mysterious Circular Radar Anomalies Baffle Earth Scientists
RadarRadar has been an important tool for meteorologists and atmospheric scientists for many years. It allows them to observe weather patterns and atmospheric conditions that are not visible to the naked eye. In recent years, however, there have been reports of strange circular beams appearing on radar that cannot be easily explained. These anomalies have

Radar-Based Techniques for Accurate Measurement of Nearshore Ocean Waves
RadarOcean waves are an important part of the Earth’s climate system, affecting marine transportation, coastal infrastructure and ecosystems, and weather. Measuring ocean waves is therefore critical to understanding and predicting these effects. One of the most common ways to measure waves is by using buoys, which are anchored to the seafloor and use sensors to
