Comparison of wind speed and direction measurements from various meteorological buoys and sensors / by C.Y. Der and J. Bull.: En36-522/52-1981E-PDF
"This unpublished report discusses two recent intercomparisons involving standard and modified NWRI wind speed and wind direction sensors on various buoy types. The overall objectives of these two studies included assessment of different buoy types as meteorological platforms, and improvement of wind direction sensing on a buoy platform. Two different buoy types, an aluminum hexagonal toroid and a standard NHRI fibreglass toroid were compared in the first study. Three wind direction sensors - a standard wind vane, a damped wind vane, and a buoy compass were compared in the second study"--Abstract.
