FIELD: instrumentation.
SUBSTANCE: short constant-duration radio pulses are generated for vertical probing thereby of sea surface. Reflected radio pulses are recorded to define, by their shape, the characteristics of sea surface. Note here that, additionally, generated are longer radio pulses for vertical probing thereby of sea surface. Note here that duration of additionally generated radio pulses allows simultaneous reflection from the entire area of sea surface illuminated within the limits of antenna diagram. Amplitude of longer duration reflected pulses is defined to determine the wind velocity and characteristics of sea surface with allowance for wind velocity.
EFFECT: higher accuracy of determination owing to separation of reflected effects.
