WAVE AND CURRENT OBSERVATIONS IN A TIDAL INLET USING GPS DRIFTER BUOYS

The Wave Resolving Drifter (WRD) Buoy, developed at NPS, was refined by adding an accelerometer and utilizing horizontal Doppler velocity measurements to better resolve the wave surface motions. The WRD Buoy was validated against a Datawell Waverider-GPS buoy by comparing bulk wave statistics, wave...
