Experimental validation of an open-source low-cost single-camera 6-DOF tracking of floating-body motion in wave tanks
Herman Martens Meyer, Paul Fromont, Ãystein Lande +2
Accurately measuring motion of floating structures in experimental settings is both important and non-trivial. In this paper, we present a single-camera, 6-degree-of-freedom motion…
ORB: An Open Radio Buoy for Coastal Water Measurements
Lars Willas Dreyer, Andrea Pferscher, Riccardo Sieve +4
Oceanographic instrumentation technology is currently under rapid transition towards increasingly open-source technology. Open-source buoys compete with commercial and closed-sourc…
OpenWaveLogger v2026 (OWL-v2026): an open source, low cost, easy to build, high performance logger for wave data measurements
Jean Rabault, Joey Voermans, Takuji Waseda +10
Ocean wave models are critical for weather and climate forecasting, and accurate in-situ wave observations are essential for validating and improving these models. Open-source, com…
Experimental investigation of a multi-buoy cooperative point-absorber wave energy converter
Herman Martens Meyer, Leif Arne Tønnessen, Olav Gundersen +1
This study presents a proof-of-concept experimental investigation of a multi-buoy cooperative point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC). The proposed concept consists of an array…
Observations of high-frequency spectral peaks from in-situ waves in ice data: evidence for nonlinear waves in ice triad interactions?
Jean Rabault, Joey Voermans, Takehiko Nose +16
The propagation of waves through the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and deeper into pack ice is a key phenomenon that influences the breakup and drift of sea ice. When waves in ice propag…
Direct in-situ observations of wave-induced floe collisions in the deeper Marginal Ice Zone
Lars Willas Dreyer, Jean Rabault, Atle Jensen +4
Ocean waves propagating through the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) and the pack ice are strongly attenuated. This attenuation is critical for protecting sea ice from energetic wave events…
