Year: 2018

Metrological aspects of measuring sea waves by waverider buoys are considered in the paper. Various methods of calibration and the systematic problems in studying accuracy of the sea wave measurements by the waverider buoys are discussed. The difficulties arising in determining metrological characteristics of such measurements are mentioned. It is noted that the device primary transducer is the buoy itself. Absence of accurate determination of a wave height as well as considerable amount of meth
