Abstract

This paper describes a series of experiments to determine the effect of the Lagrangian motion of a wave buoy on the measurements of a focused wave group. The linear components of the measured waves were almost identical to those measured by a resistance wave gauge. However, the buoy motion led to smaller measured values of the second-order components. The results of these experiments will determine the applicability of the NewWave profile to large waves recorded using wave buoys in relatively shallow environments
