Abstract:
A sea-floor tethered float instrument containing an accelerometer for measuring wave induced water velocity, ocean currents, relative swell kinetics and the like.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for measuring wave induced water velocity, the method comprising (a) providing and deploying a device, the device comprising a submerged float anchored just above the substrate by a tether, the submerged float comprising a protective housing, and within the protective housing, an accelerometer in operational communication with a memory for logging data, whereby the accelerometer detects and measures the tilt of the float and expresses such measurements in the form of data which is stored in the memory means, (b) collecting and storing said data, (c) downloading said data into a computer, (d) characterizing wave energy by summarizing data over intervals using (i) hourly means of angles, or (ii) hourly standard deviations of accelerations.
