Field measurements of wave-induced pressure over wind-sea and swell

Results of two field experiments in the North Sea are presented. Pressure was measured at two fixed heights above the mean water level and correlated with simultaneous wave height measurements. Roughly 90 hours of data have been analysed and the results are in agreement with earlier results obtained...

Description
Summary:Results of two field experiments in the North Sea are presented. Pressure was measured at two fixed heights above the mean water level and correlated with simultaneous wave height measurements. Roughly 90 hours of data have been analysed and the results are in agreement with earlier results obtained by Snyder et al. (1981). Measurements over swell give no indication of wave decay or growth for waves travelling faster than the wind or against the wind.
