A directional wave gage consisting of a two-axis electromagnetic
current meter and a pressure sensor, developed by Sea Data
Corporation, with modifications specified by the author, was
successfully deployed during the joint NOAA/U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Coastal Engineering Research Center's Atlantic Remote
Sensing Land/Ocean Experiment (ARSLOE) during November, 1980. Data
recovery rate was 100%, and instrument function was verified through
comparison with a four-element pressure sensor array at the same
location, an X-band imaging radar, and with surface meteorological
observations charting developing local wave fields. The instrument
was proven to be a viable alternative for point measurements of
directional wave fields and for estimating the first five fourier
coefficients in a directional wave model.
