Abstract
Ocean remote sensing is a useful way to obtain different information from sea surface. A large number of studies have proved the feasibility and accuracy on estimating different parameters of ocean waves by the nautical X-band radar technology. In addition to be an operational instrument for wave observations, the X-band radar is also a potential tool for the studies of nearshore physical processes. The aim of our study is to discuss the relationship between the X-band radar backscatter and different sea surface features within the surf zone. We found that the relationship between sea echo intensities and tidal features within the tidal inlet is obvious. Based on the spectral analysis of sea echo data within the tidal inlet, we could confirm the components of diurnal tide and semi-diurnal tide from the spectrum.
