Abstract

In support of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Mobile\´s Pascagoula Harbor dredged material management plan studies, two directional (DWG) and one non-directional wave gages were deployed offshore of Pascagoula MS. MS00N (the non-directional gage) and MS002 (a DWG; were deployed adjacent to Pascagoula Channel range marker "B" platform. MS001 (also a DWG) was deployed in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 2,000 ft offshore of Petit Bois Island, near Horn Island Pass. The data were used in an assessment of the validity of numerically generated estimates. The data also provide details of vessel wakes for the location adjacent to the channel.
