The 'WAVES' platform and research towers, buoys and instruments. Lake Ontario 1985 to 1987.
Abstract
The CCIW research platform is positioned in 12 m of water, 1.1 km off the beach at the west end of Lake Ontario. In 1987, three temporary towers at 2, 4, and 8 m water depth and two moored waverider buoys at 20 and 59 m were placed normal to the shore to study the characteristics of the waves in shoaling water. The engineering, instrumentation, principle and purpose of the various sensors, data acquisition and results from computational facilities are described in this paper. (from authors' abstract)
