A practical guide to a new instrument for directional wave data
The Design, Development, and Evaluation of a Differential Pressure Gauge Directional Wave Monitor presents a detailed look at a new technique to obtain directional wave information for coastal design.

This report describes the differential pressure gauge (DPG) system, its hardware, and how it was developed, tested, and evaluated in the field. It also explains how the DPG data were analyzed and compared with radar and gauge estimates, and what the results suggest for future work in this area.

How the DPG works and what kind of directional data it produces
How to select transducers, mount the instrument, and protect it from the marine environment
Methods for data processing, calibration, and interpretation of results
Field installation details and how the DPG performed in a real-world setting

Ideal for engineers, researchers, and practitioners involved in coastal engineering, oceanography, and wave forecasting who need a grounded, methodical view of this instrument and its evaluation.
