Danièle Hauser, Kimmo Kahma, Harald E. Krogstad, Susanne Lehner, Jaak A.J. Monbaliu, Lucy R. Wyatt (editors) Measuring and analysing the directional spectra of ocean waves

Luxembourg: Office for official publications of the Europian Communities, 2005. — 465 p.COST action 714, supported by the European Commission, had the objective to promote the development of measurement techniques and the use
of directional wave measurements. The working group decided to publish its work in the form of a book describing the theory of directional wave spectra and the various instruments and analysis methods used to measure them, as well as comparisons between different instruments. The aim of the book is to give a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the instruments and methods of analysis available today for measuring the directional spectrum of ocean waves.
Part I covers the theory of directional spectra of ocean waves, the methods and instruments to measure it, techniques for the statistical intercomparison of directional wave data, and spectral wave modelling. The technical editor for Part I was H. E. Krogstad, who has also written much of it. Part II, with J. Monbaliu as the technical editor, covers intercomparison studies between the various types of wave measurement techniques.
