In stormy weather due to typhoon approaching the Izu Islands, I have observed sea and weather clutter containing a target (ship) using an S‐band radar with a frequency of 3.05 GHz, a beamwidth of 1.8°, a pulsewidth of 0.5 μs, and a pulse‐repetition frequency of 1600 Hz. To analyze such clutter amplitude statistics, I have used partial Q – Q plot, which is more rigorous fit of the distribution to the data than conventional Q – Q plot. It has been found that the sea and weather clutter amplitudes obey the Weibull distribution with the shape parameters of c = 6.23 for entire data and c = 5.83 to 8.78 for small data within the beamwidth of an antenna. I have applied Weibull/CFAR (constant false alarm rate) circuit configured by modifying cell‐averaging (CA) LOG/CFAR circuit to the observed data. It has been found that ship is detected, and sea and weather clutter is suppressed with improvement of 33.61 dB by Weibull/CFAR. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
