Wind and Wave Measurements in the Oslo Fjord

Measurements of surface waves were conducted with the aim of measuring waves in the capillary-gravity regime as part of a master's thesis. An in-house built sensor equipped with an IMU, which measures acceleration and angular velocity in the unit's frame of reference, was used for a period of 26 hours. The sensor has a length of 2.5 cm and a width of 2 cm. The setup included the preprogrammed logger, SparkFun OpenLog Artemis, to record the sensor data. Wind measurements were also made during the same period using a commercial 3-cup anemometer, although wind direction was not recorded. The equipment was mounted on a jetty at Lindøya, in the inner Oslo Fjord.
