Abstract: This manuscript provides (i) the statistical uncertainty of a shear spectrum and (ii) a new universal shear spectrum, and (iii) shows how these are combined to quantify the quality of a shear spectrum. The data from four ...

Abstract: An empirically derived statistic is used to estimate the confidence interval of a dissipation estimate that uses a finite amount of shear data. Four collocated shear probes, mounted on a bottom anchored float, are used to ...

Abstract: Tethered marine systems experience large tensile loads in their tether when operating in rough seas. Heave compensation systems can be used to reduce these loads and increase the safe operating ...
