Abstract Ocean Surface Current Radar (OSCR) HF radar measurements of ocean waves and currents were made during the Shoaling Waves Experiment (SHOWEX) in fall 1999. During some periods, at locations, good quality wave obtained. Limitations measurement capability due to OSCR hardware, deployment configuration, signal-to-noise ratio, antenna sidelobes are identified discussed. A short period large presence pattern distortion is as source main errors measurements.
