Technical Progress Report. Advanced Ocean Engineering Laboratory

Abstract

The semi-annual report reflects the technical status of projects conducted within the Advanced Ocean Engineering Laboratory at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The projects are: Stable Floating Platform - to conceive, design build and demonstrate the feasibility of large stable floating platforms in the open sea. Benethic Array - a program to develop and construct a quartz vertical accelerometer. Advanced Studies in Nearshore Engineering - Electromagnetic Roughness of the Ocean Surface utilization of radio signals scattered from the sea surface to determine the directional spectrum of ocean waves.
