Thus the top of the displayed picture represents the direction in which the ship is heading.

    CR40 /50 MKII Radar operation Chapter 7 Buoys are moored to the bottom with concrete via chain. The chain is longer than the depth of the water to allow the buoys to ride in the current and go up and down with the tide. Unfortunately this allows the buoys to lean in the direction of the current.

These echoes appear on the radar screen on the very short range scales as multiple small echoes next to own ship. Under high winds and extreme conditions the echoes from sea clutter may appear as dense background of clutter forming the shape of an almost solid disc, as far as one to three miles in all directions from own ship.
