Comparison of Directional Wave Spectra Obtained from Arrays of Wave Gauges with those Obtained by Airborne Scanning Lidar Systems

Abstract

To compare, contrast and attempt to reconcile wave directional spectra obtained in two fundamentally different ways: one from 2-D contour maps of the surface and the other from time series of surface elevation at 3 or more fixed points.
