For today's Ocean Scientists, there are few collective references regarding nonlinear ocean dynamic surface phenomena, and even fewer that explain the role of understanding radar imaging of ocean dynamic surface. Nonlinear Ocean Dynamics delivers the critical tool needed to understand the latest technology in radar imaging of nonlinear waves, particularly microwave radar, as the main source to understand the analysis and application in the field of ocean dynamic surface. Filling the gap between modern physics quantum theory and applications of radar imaging of ocean dynamic surface, this reference is packed with technical details associated with the potentiality of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). It also includes Key methods needed to extract the value-added information necessary such as wave spectra energy, current pattern velocity, rogue waves, soliton wave, and ship wake from SAR measurements. Rounding out with practical simulations of 4-D of wave refraction and diffraction pattern using radar images. Nonlinear Ocean Dynamics brings an effective new source of technology and applications for today's coastal scientists and engineers.
