Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in October-December 2011 to measure wave activity at Jensen Beach, Florida, at a projected mooring field. The goal of the experiment was to observe the wind-wave climate, and also understand the contribution of boat traffic to wave agitation. Time-frequency analysis (wavelet transform, and instantaneous frequency, e.g., Mallat, 1998) was used to identify boat wakes in the wind-wave background. The method allows for detecting boat wakes and studying their statistics, even in the presence of a relatively strong broad-banded wind-wave background (in this case the wind-wave spectrum is approximately 0.2-Hz wide, with the peak at 0.5 Hz).
