Abstract: The CCIW Research Platform is positioned in 12 m of water, 1.1 km off the beach at the west end of Lake Ontario, near Hamilton. In 1987, three temporary towers, at 2,4 and 8 m, depth and two moored waverider buoys at 20 and 59 m were placed normal to the shore (240° T) in order to study the character-istics of the waves in shoaling water. The engineering, instrumentation, principle and purpose of the various sensors, data acquisition and results from computational facilities are briefly described in this poster paper.
