MECHANICAL DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, CALIBRATION, AND FIELD DEPLOYMENT OF SURFACE WAVE FLOATS.
Abstract
The purpose of the study in the surface wave program was to design and construct a buoyant cylindrical float which can accurately respond to wavelength components of the ocean surface down to about 5 ft (1-sec period); to provide a rigid, nonmagnetic, waterproof instrument housing for the transducer instrumentation which can readily be inserted and removed from the float under field conditions; to design and construct a facility to statistically calibrate each of the surface wave transducers; and to participate in field trips and supervise handling and deployment of the float system.
