The Empirical Determination of a Noise Function for NDBC Buoys with Strapped-Down Accelerometers

In most wave-measuring payloads deployed by NDBC, the displacement spectra of the ocean is obtained from the acceleration spectra, as calculated from the readings of a vertical heave sensor, which is fixed in the hull of the buoy. Due to being fixed (strapped-down, as distinct from vertically stabil... View More
