Calculations
On-board calculations — wave statistics and directional analysis.
1 - Waves
Wave-statistics calculation — significant wave height, peak period, energy.
The wave-statistics calculation reduces raw accelerometer samples to a compact summary: significant wave height (Hs), peak period (Tp), and total wave energy across the spectrum.
Status: placeholder.
2 - Direction
Directional wave-spectrum analysis from accelerometer + GPS heading.
Directional analysis combines accelerometer data with GPS heading to estimate where the wave energy is coming from.
