THE WAVE RECORD PROGRAM AT CERC,

Abstract

The paper presents a summary and history of the wave recording program at the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) and its predecessor, the Beach Erosion Board (BEB). There is a brief description of the types of sensors and recorders that have been used, and of the methods of analysis utilized. The main body of the paper is a listing of the wave gage stations, their locations, date of establishment, equipment used, present status, and periods of time over which records and analyses have been made. This listing is followed by a list of stations which have supplied visual-observation records in a program made possible by the cooperation of the United States Coast Guard. The location of each station is given along with the date of establishment, present status, and periods of time for which observations have been made. (Author)
