A field validation of a directional waverider in a SEAWATCH buoy

A directional waverider has been tested in the multi-sensor SEAWATCH buoy in a field trial near to the island Froya on the exposed western coast of Norway in which the SEAWATCH buoy was moored close to a standard directional waverider. In this paper a statistical intercomparison of simultaneous dire...

Description
Summary:A directional waverider has been tested in the multi-sensor SEAWATCH buoy in a field trial near to the island Froya on the exposed western coast of Norway in which the SEAWATCH buoy was moored close to a standard directional waverider. In this paper a statistical intercomparison of simultaneous directional wave spectra from the two buoys shows that the SEAWATCH buoy hull-mooring system does not have any significant influence on the directional wave measuring capabilities of the directional waverider. It is therefore verified that the directional waverider can be added to the wide range of sensors already routinely used in the SEAWATCH buoy.< >
