The article introduces a comparison of the statistical characteristics of surface waves measured by an acoustic wave gauge and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) during long-term monitoring of the sea surface at the Gelendzhik test site in the Black sea. The acoustic wave gauge was installed at the Gelendzhik test site in 2019. On the test site, there is also an RDI WHS-600 ADCP device with a pressure sensor installed under water, oriented upwards. The devices operate in the ultrasonic frequency range, but use different measurement schemes: the acoustic wave gauge determines the distance to the surface by the arrival time of the reflected signal of the vertical channel; ADCP uses the reflection of the signal of four inclined emitters (Echo), as well as measurements of the velocity spectrum (Velocity). The acoustic wave gauge measures the non-directional wave spectrum. ADCP allows user to determine both the directional wave spectrum and the non-directional one. The measured wave spectrum can be used to calculate the parameters of large-scale waves (up to 12 m). The article compares both the wave spectra themselves and the integral characteristics calculated from them: the significant wave height, the dispersion of the vertical component of the orbital velocity, and the significant and average wave periods for February 1–10, 2020. It is shown that the statistical characteristics measured by the two devices are similar and the difference between the measurements of the acoustic wave gauge and the results of two different ADCP data processing algorithms (Echo and Velocity) does not differ more than the results of the two algorithms differ from each other. The spectra measured by the two instruments differ in the peak region, and fall off in the same way. However, the spectra recovered by different methods from ADCP measurements also differ, which suggests that the shape of the recovered spectrum depends significantly on the processing algorithm. In the future, it is planned to consider this issue in more detail and compare the measurements of an acoustic wave gauge with those of a string wave gauge.
Keywords: sea surface, acoustic wave gauge, ADCP, significant wave height, wave spectrum, wind waves, dispersion of the vertical component of orbital velocity, significant wave periods, average wave periods
