Field Wave Gaging: Five-Year Deployment Plan, FY90-94
Abstract
The Field Wave Gaging Program (FWGP) is a multi-year effort to obtain data sets of nearshore wave conditions for the entire US coastline. A five-year plan that provides the locations and schedules of existing and planned gage deployments based on FY90 budget projections is presented. Data requirements and gage deployments are presented in a series of tables and maps for each US Army Corps of Engineers coastal Division. An updated plan will be published annually. The purpose of the FWGP is to collect coastal wave climatology data sets for use in the planning, design, and operation of coastal projects and for coastal research for all sections of the United States coastline. This goal will be accomplished through a combination of long-term measurements to directly establish wave statistics and short-term measurements to calibrate and verify numerical transformation models and hindcasts. This plan is a schedule of the number, location, and type of wave gages deployed in the current fiscal year (FY90) and to be deployed in the next 4 fiscal years.
