ROUTINE SEA-WAVE MEASUREMENT. A SURVEY

Sea waves may be recorded in many different ways depending on environmental and associated conditions. Data is often recorded for construction purposes but the information received is finding ever wider applications. There are areas in which wave measurement technology can be improved, notably in the routine measurement of wave direction. Standardization and centralization of data will ensure more reliable and efficient service to engineers concerned with structures and sea-going vehicles.
