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.

Initial settlement of marine invertebrate larvae : the role of passive sinking in a near-bottom turbulent flow environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-02)The hypothesis that planktonic larvae of benthic invertebrates sink through the water like passive particles in turbulent flows near the seabed was tested in the field using several groups of geometrically different ... -
Fluxes, dynamics and chemistry of particulates in the ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1977-10)Sediment traps designed to yield quantitative data of particulate fluxes have been deployed and successfully recovered on four moorings in the deep sea. The traps were designed after extensive calibration of different ... -
Laboratory measurements of the sound generated by breaking waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1991-12)Breaking waves dissipate energy, transfer momentum from the wind to surface currents and breaking enhances the transfer of gas and mass across the air-sea interface. Breaking waves are believed to be the dominant source ...
