Barstow, S.F., Paillard, M. and Guedes Soares, C. (1994), “Field Measurements of Coastal Waves and Currents in Portugal and Greece in the WAVEMOD Project”, Proceedings of the OCEANS 94, IEEE, Vol. I, pp. 487-492
The MAST II WAVEMOD Project aims at improving stochastic modelling of ocean waves and currents in coastal waters. In order to supplement existing data, two measurement campaigns are being carried out, on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, and, secondly, on the northern coast of Crete in the Mediterranean. The Portuguese measurements cover 7 months during winter 93-94 whilst, off Crete, measurements were started early in February 1994 and will continue for 9 months. In both two directional Waveriders and one non-directional Waverider have been deployed along a transect out from the coast in water depths between 10 and 100 m. In addition, the Mediterranean site also incorporates measurements of mean current velocities. Available satellite data will be analysed to supplement the buoy data. In this paper, both measurement campaigns are described together with a presentation of some of the data collected so far.
