“…These gauges performed limited onboard data processing, then transmitted the information to shore through a cable, which also supplied power to the systems. The DWG1 is further described in Howell (1992). In all cases, pod orientation (necessary to determine wave direction) was determined by divers following deployment and checked during retrieval.…”

The study described herein was conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The work was performed under Work Unit 32931 "Inlet Field Investigations" (IFI) in the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP). Additional funding for field work was supplied by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville (SAJ). During the design, site selection, and deployment phase of the project, Mr. Gary L. Howell of the Coastal Sediments and Engineering Division (CS&ED), CHL, was the CIRP Principal Investigator (PI) of the IFI Work Unit. Mr. W. Jeff Lillycrop of the Coastal Evaluation and Design Branch (CE&DB), CHL, was the Technical Area Leader responsible for the work unit. Following a reorganization of CIRP in 1997, Mr. Thad C. Pratt of the Hydraulic Analysis Group (HAG), CHL, became the PI of the IFI Work Unit, and Dr. Nicholas C. Kraus (CS&ED), CHL, the Technical Coordinator. The CIRP Program Manager during the study was Mr.

“…5.3. The array is an equilateral triangle with the same dimensions as the DWG-1 pressure array (Howell 1992). Three measurements were chosen, as three is the minimum number required to provide directional information.…”

“…The following results are from "measured" data generated by Fourier steady wave theory (Sobey 1989), providing a near-exact solution for steady waves that provides the complete kinematics. The data used are a simulation of data that might be collected by a DWG-1 pressure array (Howell 1992). The DWG-1 is a reliable, easy to deploy pressure array.…”

“…The pressure sensors were connected to a DWG-1 located in the center of the pod. Details about the DWG-1 and its operation are found in Howell (1992). An acoustic releasing transponder was also attached to the underwater unit to locate the gage for retrieval.…”
