Abstract

The paper refers to pressure gage wave measurements . First order transformation of the pressure spectrum into a surface level spectrum leads to hitherto unexplained discrepancies with prototype simultaneous pressure and level measurements . Use of second order gravity wave theory allows to draw the following conclusions » Second order effects appear to give a reasonable explanation of the observed discrepancies . A complete check would require specially made wave measurements and analyses . Second order corrections do not significantly affect mean values, such as significant height, if the manometer depth is not unduly large.
