Abstract: HF shore-based radar was deployed to investigate the real-time effect on the marine environment of the Beibu Gulf during typhoon period. Wind field parameters retrieved from sea echo, by means of the forming mechanism of sea echo Doppler spectrum and wind-driven principle of echo spectrum, were applied to study the marine environment of the Beibu Gulf during Typhoon Usagi. The dta contained real-time wind field information in the Beibu Gulf, which provided support for the deep current inversion of the Beibu Gulf under typhoon condition.

Key words: Typhoon Usagi, Beibu Gulf, portable HF surface wave radar, echo Doppler spectrum, wind field
