Abstract
Data obtained, in the course of making wind wave measurements from on board ship are discussed. Phase measurements and the digitization, of a signal enable one to single out Bragg's resonance structure of the Doppler spectrum and to acquire a number of spatio-temporal characteristics of waves within a broad range of wavelengths. The possibility of reconstructing a unidimensional profile of the sea surface and estimating the inhomogenecity of short-wave sea surface roughness components is illustrated.
