1 Introduction As part of its long-term collection program, the Beach Protection Authority (the Authority) has been recording wave characteristics along Queensland's coast since 1968. This has been done using a series of wave recording stations. The Tweed buoy is operated by the Authority on behalf of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project, an initiative of the Queensland and New South Wales State Governments. This report summarises the primary analyses of wave data collected at the Tweed station. It also provides brief details of the recording equipment, the methods of handling raw data and the types of analyses employed.

2 Recording equipment The wave recording program uses two systems to measure wave data: the waverider system and the wave pole system.

2.1 Waverider system The waverider system, manufactured by Datawell bv of the Netherlands, uses a waverider buoy to determine the sea surface fluctuations at an offshore location. Directional and non-directional buoys are used. In both types of buoys, vertical acceleration of the buoy is measured by an accelerometer, mounted on a stabilised platform suspended in a fluid-filled plastic sphere at the bottom of the buoy. This data is then twice integrated to give displacement.

The directional buoy also measures horizontal acceleration, using two fixed accelerometers and an onboard fluxgate compass to give the directional displacement in two horizontal axes. A transformation matrix is used to calculate these measured accelerations in the north-south and east-west directions.

Instantaneous water level and directional data are then transmitted to the shore station as a frequency modulated high frequency radio signal.

2.2 Wave pole system The wave pole system, manufactured by the Queensland Government Hydraulics laboratory, consists of a single, perforated metal pipe, surrounding an inner metal pipe that acts as a co-axial transmission line to the water. An enclosed circuit board housing containing an electronic oscillator is mounted on the top. This system is mounted vertically on a suitable offshore structure.

Relative wave height measurements are taken, based on the principle that a sharp change in the electrical impedance of the wave pole occurs at the fluctuating water surface and the period of oscillation is linearly proportional to the length of the wave pole that is not immersed in water.

Water surface elevations are recorded at the wave pole and are transferred via radio modem to a remote data recording computer.

2.3 Station configuration The original configuration of the Tweed station, first installed on 13 January 1995, comprises a personal computer (PC) based system using the Datawell WArec waverider receiver/digitiser. The water level data, digitised at O. 78 second intervals (1.28Hz), are recorded in bursts of 2048 points (approximately 26 minutes) and recorded on the PC's hard disk. The proprietary software running on the PC controls the timing of data recording and processes the data in 'near real time' to provide a set of standard sea-state parameters and spectra that may be accessed remotely via the public telephone network.

Recorded data and analysis results are downloaded daily to a central computer system in Brisbane for checking, further processing and archiving.

For more information on the buoy operation and the recording systems, contact the sources listed in section 7.

2.4 Laboratory calibration checks Waverider buoys are calibrated before deployment and also after recovery. Normally, a buoy is calibrated once every 12 months. Calibration is performed at the Queensland Government Hydraulics Laboratory using a buoy calibrator to simulate sinusoidal waves wi1h amplitudes ot either 2m or 2.8m, depending on whether a 0. 7m or 0.9m diameter buoy is involved. The calibrator is electrically controlled and the frequency may be varied from 016-0.25Hz. It is usual to check three frequencies during a calibration.

The following characteristics of the buoy are also checked during the calibration procedure: • compass (directional buoy), • phase and amplitude response, • accelerometer platform stability, • platform tilt. • battery capacity, • power output. The recorded wave data are not adjusted in any way in light of the laboratory calibration results.

3 Wave recording and analysis procedures From 13 January 1995 to 28 February 1997, the PC based recording system generally recorded data at (nominally) hourly intervals. During periods when the recorded significant wave height (Hsig) value reached the storm threshold of 2m, the recording frequency was increased to (nominally) 30 minute intervals.

Recorded wave data are analysed in the time domain by the zero upcrossing method and in the frequency domain by spectral analysis.

Directional wave data undergoes initial processing on the buoy, where the datasets are divided into data sub-sets and each sub-set is analysed using Fast Fourier Transform techniques. The output from this processing is then transmitted to the shore station, along with the raw data, where it undergoes further analysis using Fast Fourier Transform techniques to produce 128 spectral estimates in bands of 005Hz. The zero upcrossing analysis is equivalent in all systems.

Wave parameters resulting from this processing include the following: S(f) energy density spectrum Hsig significant wave height (time domain),

the average of the highest one-third of the waves in the record

Hmax highest individual wave in the record (time domain)

Hrms root mean square of the wave heights in the record (time domain)

Tsig significant wave period (time domain), the average period of the highest one-third of waves in the record

T z average period of all zero upcrossing waves in the record (time domain)

Tpeak wave period corresponding to the peak of the energy density spectrum (frequency domain)

T c average period o f all the waves in the record, based on successive crests (time domain)

These parameters are the basis tor the summary plots and tables in this report.

4 Data losses Data losses can be divided into two categories: losses due to equipment failure and losses during data processing due to signal corruption. Common causes of data corruption include radio interference and a spurious low frequency component in the water level signal caused by a tilting accelerometer platform in the waverider buoy.

Analysis of recorded data includes some data rejection checks, both on-board the buoy and by the PC-based system. In these procedures, a small number of spurious data points may be corrected by an interpolation procedure. Otherwise, the entire series is rejected.

Details of data losses for the Tweed wave recording station are included in appendix 1 .

5 Wave climate The wave climate data presented in this report are based on statistical analyses of the parameters obtained from the recorded wave data. Programs developed by the Authority provide statistical information on percentage of time occurrence for wave heights and periods. The results of these analyses are presented in tables 1 to 6 and figs.3 and 4. Statistical data on percentage of time occurrence of wave heights (Hsig) and wave directions (a) are presented in tables 7 to 12 and fig.2. Similar analyses are carried out on the relationships between the various wave parameters and these are presented in flg.5.

5.1 Methodology As discussed above, various data losses can cause occasional gaps in records. Rejection of data causes relatively short gaps, while buoy or recording equipment malfunctions cause much longer gaps.

In calculating wave climate statistics. each record is assigned a total duration equal to half the recording interval on either side of that record. The duration on the side of records adjacent to gaps in the data are limited to a maximum value dependent on the nominal recording interval of that record.

During the period when the nominal recording interval is one hour, the maximum allowable total duration of a record is equal to three hours. Each duration on either side of a record greater than 90 minutes ( half the maximum allowable total duration) is set to the maximum allowable of exactly 90 minutes. and a gap in the data is reported.

6 Data presentation No attempt has been made to interpret the recorded data for design purposes or to apply corrections for refraction. diffraction and shoaling to obtain equivalent deep-water waves. Therefore, before this data can be used, the exact location of the buoy and the water depth in which the buoy was moored should be noted. This information is in

Appendix 1 . The directional waverider system provides both vertical water surface elevation and directional data.

appendiX 2 summarises meteorological events that occurred during the recording period covered by this report, where the recorded Hsig value of 2m was reached during the event. The wave parameters Hsig, Hmax. and Tp are listed for each event. together with other relevant

information. Only the cyclone events that contributed to recorded Hsig values reaching the storm threshold of 2m are listed in appendix 2.

Appendix 3 lists only the names and dates of cyclones that occurred along the eastern seaboard of Queensland during the recording period covered by this report.

For the purposes of analysis, summer has been taken as the period from 1 November to 30 April of the following year. Winter covers the period 1 May to 31 October in any one year.
