Zusammenfassung:The Third Acoustic Surface Reverberation Experiment (ASREX III) took place from December 1993 to March 1994 in the mid-Atlantic. As part of this experiment, two moorings were deployed to measure the environmental background. A meteorological and oceanographic mooring was deployed to characterize the surface wind stress, buoyancy flux, and the current and temperature structure over the top 500 meters. A Seatex WavescanTM buoy was deployed to characterize the directional wave spectrum. This report presents results from these moorings. Wave height and period, nondirectional spectra, directional spectra and a typology of wave events are presented and related to surface forcing.
