Abstract
MIROS is a microwave radar system for real time directional measurements of water particle speed, ocean waveheight frequency spectra and surface current. This paper gives a system description, including both hardware and software. The theories behind the principles of operation are also reviewed. MIROS has been subjected to extensive field trials, and a selection of data collected during these trials are presented and compared to data collected by conventional instruments. The field trials hag demonstrated that microwave remote sensing, as implemented in MIROS is a realistic alternative to conventional techniques. MIROS is now commercially available.
