Improved Submarine Deployed Sea-State Sensor.

Abstract

The invention relates generally to the field of electronic sensing devices, and more particularly to sensors for sensing selected conditions on an ocean surface. The invention specifically provides a sensor which may be deployed by a submarine or other submerged platform, which can obtain wave statistics regarding significant wave height, mean and 'rms' (root-mean-square) wave height, wave frequency spectra I information, variance, the significance and mean period and sea state, from which conditions such as surface wind speed can be determined.
