1.2.2 Radar echo display area
The radar echo for wave analysis from the specified radar is displayed on the right side of the
screen.
• Bearing line: The 360° azimuth is divided into four with solid lines at 90° intervals to make the
direction easier to understand.
• Radar echo (for the wave analysis): The absolute intensity of the radar reflection from the wave
increases in order of dark blue, light blue, light green, dark green, orange, yellow, red.
• Own ship icon: The own ship icon is displayed at the center of the screen.
1.2.3 Significant wave height, wave information
The significant wave height and wave information are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
• [Significant]: Shows the significant wave height. The significant wave height is a statistical value
obtained by averaging the top 1/3 highest waves when observing the specified area. Although
its value is different from the maximum value or the simple average value, it is the closest value
to the wave height visually observed by a skilled observer.
• [1st Wave], [2nd Wave]: Among the observed waves, the two most outstanding waves are se-
lected and assigned as [1st Wave] and [2nd Wave] for reference. There is no distinction made
between wind waves and swells for this selection.
