Abstract
An optical instrument, utilizing a light reflection principle, has been designed which is capable of determining not only surface slope, but also surface curvature distribution. This instrument has been successfully tested in laboratory studies of wind generated waves. Some sample results are included to illustrate the applicability of the instrument.Keywords
