The buoys were calibrated either at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Engineering Support Office (ESO), Wave Instrument Facility (Ribe 1981),* or at Adamo Rupp Associates in Solana Beach, California. Calibration results are presented in terms of two factors: (a) the Datawell-specified decrease in electronic sensitivity as a function of oscillation period error, and (b) a difference error based on deviations from (a) found during the calibrations. These corrections and their application are discussed below. Datawell-Predicted Decrease in Sensitivity Error (DW) 3. Waverider buoy sensitivity /A/ for buoy electronics decreases with increasing period T of sinusoidal vertical motion according to Datawell as follows: /A/ = -=:.
