Field Wave Gaging Program, Wave Data Analysis Standard.

Source: https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/This version of the Field Wave Gaging Program (FWGP) Wave Data Analysis Standard focuses on procedures for analyzing directional wave data from pressure slope arrays and pressure/biaxial current meter gages. Nondirectional wave data analysis is inherently included as a simplification (a subset) of directional wave data analysis. Likewise, analysis of data from wave staffs is a subset of these procedures, obtained by eliminating the pressure response correction. The data collection and analysis procedures described are only applicable to wind-generated surface gravity waves of engineering significance. This document covers analysis procedures for measured time series (wave records) that are assumed to contain no significant number of errors or gaps

Field Wave Gaging Program Wave Data User's Needs Survey

Source: https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/A Wave Data User's Needs Survey was performed to support the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC) Field Wave Gaging Program (FWGP). Survey results will contribute to design of the data management and distribution system through which FWGP data and products will become available. Approximately 510 surveys were distributed to a wide variety of possible wave information users including contacts within Corps of Engineers Division and District offices, CERC personnel, and contacts outside the Corps of Engineers. The number of returned surveys totaled 212 resulting in an approximate 42-percent return rate. Responses were optically scanned and survey data were placed into a database. Statistical analysis provided quantitative results for a variety of response categories including (a) FWGP data and product users within the Corps of Engineers but not within CERC, (b) users within CERC, and (c) users outside of the Corps of Engineers. Results are provided as graphical presentations and as detailed tabulated reports
