An experiment was performed to measure and characterize wave kinematics in the Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). The experiment is part of an ongoing effort to improve predictions and measurements of ship motions in waves, including more accurate characterization of the near-field wave environment and its influence on ship motions. The primary objective of this experiment was to measure and characterize the wave kinematics of regular waves of varying steepness and scaled regular seaways, including irregular waves with embedded wave groups. Measurements, including free-surface elevations and velocity field measurements under the free surface, are presented and discussed.
