MULTIPLE PURPOSE OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR STUDIES OF SHORT STEEP WATER WAVES

Optical instrument, utilizing light reflection principle, has been designed which is capable of determining not only surface slope, but also surface curvature distribution; this instrument has been successfully tested in laboratory studies of wind generated waves; some sample results are included to illustrate applicability of instrument.
