The combined method of measurement of a vector of speed of surface currents by means of 3-cm of a range modernized two polarizing radar is developed. The non-standard operating mode of the radar, a technique of receiving and processing of the radar images (RLI), allowing raising accuracy of measurement of parameters surface currents are offered.
Keywords: X-band radar, radar images, wind waves, surface current, dispersive ratio, dual polarizations
