Abstract
Discusses the development of a Sonic Buoy. The high quality of the results from the SWALES deployment vindicates the decision to develop the Sonic Buoy. The relation between the calculated wind stress and wind speed is much more clearly defined than in previous ship-based measurements. On the technical side, the buoy design has been proved with respect to survivability, and the redundancy built into the data logging and telemetry has proved its worth
