Survey and Comments on Methods for Measuring the Spectra of Ocean Surface, Short Wavelength Gravity-Capillary Waves
Abstract
This report is a preliminary survey of the available methods for determining the spectrum of ocean surface gravity waves. More specifically, emphasis is placed on the short wavelength, non-directional spectrum. Two distinct systems require development to satisfy this measurement problem: a standardizing system and an in-situ system. The best standardizing system is probably the direct wave-wire instrumentation, although this system has fish line problems in the short wavelength region. The best in-situ system is probably an airborne laser profilometer although stereographic techniques are another possibility.
