HF radar directional spectra validation with buoy and model data

Examples of the measurement of the directional wave spectrum using HF radars are presented. These are compared with both buoy and model data and good agreement is demonstrated. Work in progress on partitioning these spectra for more detailed comparisons and for assimilation into models is discussed.
