Loch Linnhe Experiment Data Summary,

Abstract

During the Loch Linnhe Experiment, TRW deployed a ground truth package of instrumentation on board the Loch Nevis. The package consists of the following 4 main instruments: (i) Scanning laser slope gauge, (ii) X-and Ka-band radars, (iii) Wave height probe, and (iv) A photographic system for detecting and measuring specular joints, The following auxiliary instruments are also deployed in a supporting role: (i) An inclinometer to measure the pitch and roll of the slope gauge due to ship motion, (ii) A salinity gauge (on loan to us from Anton Edwards of SMBA) for detecting the presence or arrival of an internal wave, and (iii) A video camera for recording general conditions of the sea surface around the slope gauge. A brief description of the main instruments can be found in the following sections. The last section is a data log summary showing the data taken as well as its assessed quality.
