1 Establishing the Provenance of NDBC s Accuracy Statement for Directional Waves Richard H. Bouchard and Rodney E. Riley National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Stennis Space Center, MS USA Ocean Waves Workshop, New Orleans, 15 January 2015
2 Provenance the place of origin or earliest known history of something. the beginning of something's existence; something's origin. a record of ownership of a work of art or an antique, used as a guide to authenticity or quality.
3 Are Ocean Wave Heights Increasing in the Eastern North Pacific? - Allan and Komar, Eos, Vol. 81, No. 47, November 21, Gemmrich, Thomas, and Bouchard (2011): Several recent studies reported long-term trends extracted from these records. However, significant modifications of the wave measurement hardware as well as the analysis procedures since the start of the observations result in inhomogeneities of the records.

7 What Do We Mean by Wave Direction? NDBC (1996) for details NDBC uses the method of Longuet-Higgins, Cartwright and Smith (1963) for heave, pitch, and roll from a moored DISCUS buoy Pitch and Roll from: Datawell Hippy 40 Integration of three orthogonal angular rate sensors (ARS) Partitioning Magnetometer Measurements (MO) NDBC then makes slopes in the buoy frame of reference Determine the buoy heading with respect to Magnetic North from the earth s magnetic fluxes as measured by three orthogonal magnetometers and pitch and roll Magnetic declination then rotates to True North Slopes are passed through an FFT -> Co and quadrature spectra Use the first and second order Fourier Coefficients to determine directional wave spectra
8 HIPPY: 66,000 cm 3, 36 kg, US$17,500 3DMG: 145 cm 3, kg, US$ 1,300 Hippy 3DM-G
9 First and Second Order Fourier Coefficients: α ā 1(f), b 1(f), ā 2(f), b 2(f) First order are function s of the quad-spectra; Second order, co-spectra Mean Wave Direction (alpha1), WMO (1995): α 3 = π 2 ( ) b a 1 1 ( f ) tan 1( f ), 1( Principal Wave Direction (alpha2), WMO (1995): 3 = π 2 ( ) b a 1 2 ( f ) tan 2( f ), α follows the IAHR (1997) convention: As the angle between true north and the direction from where the waves are coming. Clockwise is positive 2( f f ) ) + 0 or π, closest to α 1
10 First and Second Normalized (wrt zeroth order Fourier Coefficient(spectral density) )Polar Coordinates, WMO (1995) r 1( f ) = 2 b1 ( f ) + a 0( a1( f ) f 2 ) r 2( f ) = 2 b2 ( f ) + a 0( a2( f ) f 2 ) From O Reilly, 2008
11 Fourier Coefficients: S( f, θ ) = a an + bn ) n= 1 [ cos( nθ ) sin( nθ ] Or in WMO terms: D( f S(f,α) = C 11 (f) D(f, α ), α) = ( α ) + cos( ( α )) r1cos α r 2 2 Note: Because of trig function properties and differences, this can yield negative S(f) See Earle, Steele, and Wang (1999). 1 π α 2
12 Longuet-Higgins (1963) angular distribution D(f,θ) = G(s) cos[(θ-θ)/2 2s Where: S = r 1 /(1 r 1 ) Directional Width = (2-2r 1 ) ½
13 Wave Direction Statistic Used in Certification or Commissioning is the Mean Wave Direction (at the Peak Frequency (Dominant Period): α1(f=max C11) SWD MWD & WWD MWD also is: Wind Wave Direction (WWD) & Swell Wave Direction (SWD) in Spectral Partitioning)
14 Accuracy criteria used to certify/commission systems for operational use Other parameters are evaluated, and errors on the same order Field evaluations over a limited time Comparison with operational standard Generally: Eliminate failed QC reports Limited to cases when Peak Frequencies match Statistic is either Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) or Functional Precision (Hoehns, 1977 & Gilhousen, 1987) FP = BIAS 2 + STDDiff 2

20 10 & 12-m Discus Hulls affected by currents Based on Steele, 1997: Ocean Current Kinematic Effects on Pitch Roll Buoy Observations of Mean Wave Direction and Nondirectional Spectra NDBC does not release in realtime directional wave measurements for frequencies above 0.20 Hz (< 5 sec) NDBC does archive (NODC) and preserve directional spectra at all frequencies 10-m anemometer height indicates hull in pre-2011 NODC records
21 Yaw induced by swell opposing wind increased errors Generally restricted to Gulf of Mexico and Great Lakes, a couple on the West Coast Notorious deviation occurred during Hurricane Ivan, 2004
