| Term: | inclinometer |
| Description: | used on moored buoys to derive wave steepness or height |
| Definition: | instrument used on moored buoys to measure 'vertical displacement of the buoy hull' to determine wave height, period, etc.
May be used in conjunction with the use of a Datawell Hippy sensor to measure vertical heave acceleration along with pitch and roll. Also may be used with a second sensor, a triaxial magnetometer, is used to measure hull azimuth. |
