Background
The Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), Field Data Collection & Analysis Branch has a requirement for the measurement of surface gravity waves.

Specifications
CHL has specific instrument needs for the measurement of surface gravity waves. A total of forty (40) capacitance wave height gauge instruments are needed that can measure sub-millimeter changes in water level. These instruments need an accuracy of at least 0.15% of full scale and linearity of at least 0.15% of full scale. Ten (10) 30 cm, thirty (30) 60 cm, and thirty (30) 100 cm probes are needed. The change in output due to changes in air and water temperature must be no more than 0.03% of full scale per degree Centigrade. Gauges must operate in close proximity to one another or other instrumentation without interference. The capacitance wave gauges must be waterproof and designed to operate in fresh and salt water. An output frequency of at least 25Hz is required with a 5 Volt dc range.
