Triaxys Wave Buoy and RD Instruments ADCP

摘要

Since July 2004 the author has been routinely measuring waves 10km offshore Savannah, Georgia, at a site with mean water depth of 13m, using a Triaxys wave buoy (see wavebuoy.gtsav.gatech.edu). This report summarises a comparison of directional wave parameters from the buoy and 1,200kHz RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) equipped with pressure transducer and waves firmware.
