Abstract :
Directional wave measurements from an RDI Workhorse with Waves are compared with those from the traditional Datawell Directional Waverider buoy. The measurements were conducted simultaneously at the same location over several months, and show good agreement. The principles of two measurement techniques are contrasted.
