Spectres directionnels. - La forme des spectres en fréquence est encore le sujet de discussions […] en particulier dans sa partie haute fréquence qui est très importante pour la réflexion d’ondes radar [...] Pour la forme directionnelle des vagues les incertitudes sont bien plus grandes, même au niveau du pic spectral, en particulier à cause du faible nombre d’observations directionnelles de bonne qualité. Le spectre fréquence-direction [...] se décompose de manière usuelle [...] 2, record 1, French, - spectre%20directionnel%20fr%C3%A9quence%2Ddirection%20des%20vagues
