Deep water field evaluation of NDBC/SWADE 3 meter discus directional buoy / by F. Anctil [and four others].: En13-5/91-122E-PDF

"This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to assess the directional spectrum resolution qualities of the pitch-roll-heave NDBC/SWADE 3 meter discus wave directional buoy, in deep water conditions. Wave frequency spectra and wave directional spectra measured by the buoy, moored in about 415 m water depth, are compared to similar measurements obtained from a wave staff and a bi-axial current meter fixed to the nearby Bullwinkle platform (Gulf of Mexico). Both buoy and platform equipment operated simultaneously from 0000 GMT 29 May 1989 to 0100 GMT 24 June 1989"--Abstract.
