Abstract
It is possible to obtain estimates of the sea state at the specific position of an advancing vessel by processing measurements of the vessel’s wave-induced responses. The analogy to a wave rider buoy is clear, although the situation of an advancing ship is more complex due to forward speed. The paper studies the ‘wave buoy analogy’, and a large set of full-scale motion measurements is considered.
It is shown that the wave buoy analogy gives fairly accurate estimates of sea state parameters when compared to estimates from real wave rider buoys.
