Wave Measurement in Iceland
The Research Section of the Icelandic Harbour Authority (lHA) is responsible for collecting data for the design, construction and maintenance of harbours in Iceland. To fulfill these requirements, the IHA runs 9 accelerometer buoys and 5 pressure guages with various types of computers for data analy...
