The Wavemeter : a land-based system for measuring nearshore ocean waves

Creator:

Zopf, D. O., Creech, H. C., and Quinn, W. H.

Abstract:

This paper describes a method for measuring nearshore ocean wave characteristics with a land-based, long-period vertical seismometer. The wavemeter system has proven to be highly reliable and produces continuous wave observations at low cost. It is now operational at six Coast Guard stations along the Oregon and Washington coasts; data...

Towed observations of internal waves in the upper ocean

Creator:

Spoering, Thomas James

Abstract:

Observations between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermostor chain in the North Pacific. Despite the rapid vertical variation of buoyancy frequency, spectra of isotherm displacements are in fair agreement with other observations and with the Garrett-Munk model. The spectra show evidence of a shoulder and...

Side looking airborne radar mapping of wave refraction patterns at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:

Bell, James W.

Abstract:

The ocean wave conditions at the mouth of the Columbia River have long proven a hazard to ship navigation. Over 62 major shipwrecks have occurred at, or in the vicinity of the river entrance. The wave pattern is extremely complex, varying seasonally with prevailing winds and river discharge, as well...
