Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Six types of recording current meter (Alexaev, Bergen, Braincon, Geodyne, LSK and Plessey) were compared during the U.S.S.R. Polygon experiment from the research vessel Akademik Kurchatov. The instruments were set on four moorings arranged in a rough square with approximately 10 km. on a side, centered about 16° 35'N, 32°50'W for a twelve-day period or triads at depts of 50, 200, and 1000m. One Alexaev instrument was included in each instrument pair of triad.From the twenty-six records obtained, it was concluded that while the recorded currents were similar in the mean, there were large differences in the response to time-varying currents. Some of these differences are understandable in terms of known instrument characteristics, but two in particular are not. A systematic difference in incremental speed response was noted between Alexaev instruments and other types. The high-frequency energy density for LSK instruments was significantly lower than for other instruments. Further study of these differences is recommended. |
