The thesis examines the principal air-sea properties at Ocean
Station Vessel N (30N 140W). In a descriptive section, meteorological
and oceanographic data for N are analyzed over 20 years (1951-1970)
and 7 years (1964-1970), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed
for the 20 year period. The yearly average rainfall is...
The motions of a small spar buoy were measured in deep water.
The measured variables were two buoy tilts, three accelerations, two
wave slopes and the wave height. The variables were corrected for
buoy motion and rotated to stationary coordinates, Fast Fourier
Transformed, and analyzed spectrally. Analysis included power
spectra,...
