Optical Measurements of Capillary-Gravity Wave Spectra Using a Scanning Laser Slope Gauge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A description of a new scanning laser slope gauge (SLSG) is given and the results obtained from both laboratory wind-wave tank and field measurements are presented. The device relies on the measurements of two components ...
Estimation of Directional Surface Wave Spectra from a Towed Research Catamaran*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the High-Resolution Remote Sensing Main Experiment (1993), wave height was estimated from a moving catamaran using pitch-rate and roll-rate sensors, a three-axis accelerometer, and a capacitive wave wire. The wave ...
Observation of Short Wind Waves in Coastal Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of wind-generated gravity?capillary waves have been made during two recent field programs in coastal environments. The results of wave slope spectra on clean water show a well-defined correlation with the wind ...
