Short-term deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP) can facilitate the safe implementation
of a number of maritime operations. Wave profile radars, based on the conventional X-band
radars, have recently been proven to provide a low-cost convenient source of two-dimensional
wave measurement for DSWP. The Golden Arrow sea trial in the North Atlantic was dedicated
to collecting wave and vessel motion data for DSWP purposes, particularly under the large sea
conditions that are of practical interest in marine operations. The field data were collected using
a wave profiling radar and other measurement technologies for validation. This paper reports
on the successful application of a recently developed technique by Al-Ani et al. in DSWP to
the dedicated sea trial.
