We analyze the microwave imaging of shoaling nearshore surface gravity waves during the process of steepening and breaking over two beaches for a wide range of environmental conditions. The extracted backscatter intensity and Doppler speed form distinct patterns that reveal a nonnegligible dependence on environmental conditions. The backscatter signature exhibited by breaking waves remained consistent and similar throughout all datasets. Before consolidating the findings, it is imperative to conduct a further investigation of radar imaging of nonlinear wave dynamics in shallow water to eliminate any possible influence of imaging mechanisms. The details are presented in a paper that just came out in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10460567)
