The authors report on the application of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) as a high resolution remote sensing monitor of surface currents in the shore region of the ocean. They adapt and interferometric technique, where two receivers, mounted fore and aft on the aircraft record the reflected signal. After appropriate processing the two signals are interferometrically combined, and one can extract actual velocity fields from the ocean surface being monitored. They present results on the longshore current velocity.
