Project Update- July 30th 2007

We have data!!! On Friday we were able to collect data from the waves run for another project. The data we collected was on 10 and 30cm waves. This translates to 5 and 15 m waves respectively. The graphs looked good, the data was repeatable and it is going to help us draw conclusions about our study. Soon we'd like to post some of the graphs or data on the blog. This week we will continue to take data from the waves run for the other project at 50 and 60cm, and time permitting at 20 and 40cm. The other project will be completed after Friday, at which point we can continue to work on our project with the specific wave heights we want. Our goal for the week is to collect and begin analyzing more data, begin to look at ADV (velocity) data, mount grid and observe bore height for various wave heights, and adjust cameras to capture helpful angles in order to study inundation patterns in the model. All in all, we are making good progress and collecting good-looking data that is like what we expected and is consistent.
