Development of a Low-Cost Tide Gauge

A low-cost tide gauge was developed and field tested to demonstrate a technology that would enable more cost-effective and greater sampling of spatially variable water levels and ocean surface waves. The gauge was designed to be adaptable to expendable and, possibly, air-deployed use for application...

Description
Summary:A low-cost tide gauge was developed and field tested to demonstrate a technology that would enable more cost-effective and greater sampling of spatially variable water levels and ocean surface waves. The gauge was designed to be adaptable to expendable and, possibly, air-deployed use for applications such as support of naval operations.
