**About the Editor**

**Stuart Anderson** received the B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia, in 1968 and 1972, respectively. In 1974, he was invited to join the team being assembled in the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organization to develop the Jindalee over-the-horizon radar system, where he assumed responsibility for ocean surveillance and remote sensing, leading to the world's first fully operational OTHR wide-area ocean surveillance system. He has worked as a Visiting Scientist in a number of countries, particularly the U.S., the U.K., and France, as a consultant to their national HF radar programs. Dr. Anderson holds or has held Adjunct and Visiting Professor appointments at numerous universities in Australia and overseas, including University College London, Universite Paris VI, ´ and Universite Rennes I, which, in 2005, awarded him an honorary doctorate for his contributions ´ to radar science. In 2014 he retired from DSTO and took up the position of Adjunct Professor of Physics at the University of Adelaide. His research interests span ionospheric physics, radiowave propagation, radio oceanography, electromagnetic scattering, inverse problems, signal processing, passive coherent location, and microwave polarimetry. He has published over 350 journal papers, conference papers, book chapters, and reports in these fields. Dr. Anderson was the recipient of the 1992 Australian Minister of Defence Science Award for Research Achievement for his pioneering contributions to over-the-horizon radar in both skywave and surface wave forms. He is the principal author of the chapter on OTH radar in the authoritative *Radar Handbook*.
