Lagrangian measurement of steep directionally spread ocean waves: second-order motion of a wave-following measurement buoy

The notion that wave-following buoys provide less accurate measurements of extreme waves than their Eulerian counterparts is a perception commonly held by oceanographers and engineers (Forristall 2000, J. Phys. Oceanogr., 30, 1931-1943). By performing a direct comparison between the two types of mea...
