Field Comparison of Different Types of Sea-Bed Installed Directional Wave Gauges

  • Published : 2003.08.01

Abstract

Methods for measuring wave height and direction varies throughout the world, depending on wave climate and local traditions. In Japan, bottom mounted systems have long been the standard fur coastal areas with water depth less than 50m, and extensive studies in the 1980s and 1990s refined the systems to a level where the full wave directional spectrum could be measured.
