Brief description

Wave action was measured on 10 sampling occasions from April to October 1987 in the high and low intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria. Forty dynamometers (20 in each zone) were deployed on each sampling occasion and left out for 2 tidal cycles (approx. 24 hours). The maximum force that was exerted on the dynamometer within this period was recorded on a spring scale. The force exerted by the waves was directly proportional to water velocity.

Statement: Dynamometers were panduit 188mm cable ties and 3.8cm diameter drogues (fishing floats cut in half). The drogues were attached to the sliding head of the cable tie by a 125mm long piece of 9mm springy, high tensile wire. Two small elastic bands were used to provide the opposing force to the drogue. Twenty millimeter self-tapping screws were used to attach the dynamometers to raw plugs that were embedded in the rock. The maximum force that was exerted on the drogue within the period of 2 tidal cycles was recorded using an Ohaus 2000g dial spring scale that was fitted to the dynamometers. The force exerted by the waves on the regular shaped drogues was directly proportional to water velocity.
Statement: Columns in data set: Maximum force (KG), Wave velocity in metres per second (M/S), Zone (1 or 2), Sampling occasion (1-10).
