 IVIeasurements at Long Branch, 

 New Jersey, Directional Wave 

 Gauge 



This appendix presents tabular summaries of wave measurements collected 

 at the Long Branch. New Jersey, directional wave gauge (DWG). The Long 

 Branch DWG (40.30° N, 73.97° W) is located approximately 2.7 km south of the 

 Monmouth Beach hot spot at a depth of approximately 1 m. The analysis of 

 measured waves covers January' 1994 through April 1998. Extended gaps in the 

 measured wave data occur from mid-November 1994 through mid-July 1995 and 

 October 1996 through February 1997 because of instrument failure. 



Peak wave period and direction are not recorded for measured wave heights 

 less than 0.2 m. Data recorded as "Bad Data" in the tables result from instru- 

 ment error/failure or irrational recorded data. Peak wave period and direction 

 correspond to the maximum wave energy of the measured directional spectrum. 

 Wave directions are expressed as the azimuth (in degrees) relative to true north 

 from which waves approach the gauge.
