Organization of Report 



5. This report is organized into nine parts and five appendixes. 



Part I is an introduction; Parts II through VIII discuss the various data col- 

 lected during the year; and Part IX describes the storms that occurred. 

 Appendix A presents the bathymetric surveys, Appendix B summarizes deepwater 

 wave statistics, and Appendixes C through E (published under separate cover 

 as Volume II) contain summary statistics for other gages. 



6. In each part of this report, the respective instruments used for 

 monitoring the meteorological or oceanographic conditions are briefly 

 described along with data collection and analysis procedures and data results. 

 The instruments were interfaced with the primary data acquisition system, a 

 Digital Equipment Corporation (Maynard, MA) VAX- 11/750 minicomputer located in 

 the FRF laboratory building. More detailed explanations of the design and the 

 operation of the instruments may be found in Miller (1980). Readers' comments 

 on the format and usefulness of the data presented are encouraged.
