Corporate name TU Delft Date 1965-10-01 Abstract Over the past two or three years, Texas A &: M University has been operating facilities offshore of Panama City, Florida, to observe and collect environmental oceanographic data in the Gulf of Mexico. Waves are measured using Hytech resistance type wave staffs. The data is recorded more or less continuously in digital form on magnetic tape. The recording stations are located approximately 150 yards, 1. 7 nautical miles and 11 nautical miles offshore in water depths of about 8, 60 and 100 feet, respectively. NESCO, in the course of a current research project on the modification of wave spectra on the continental shelf, has been utilizing this wave data system. A series of computer programs has been developed to analyze the wave data. Results of probability densities and spectral analyses of simultaneous station data obtained during Hurricane Dora are presented. Comparison of directly measured statistics and spectral statistics are made.
