description: In this thesis mean square slope has been calculated from slope images which were  recorded by the Imaging Slope Gauge (ISG) at the annular wind-wave tank Aeolotron  in Heidelberg. The calculations have been realized using three different methods, which  are, (i) calculation of the variance, (ii) integration of the slope power spectrum and  (iii) fitting the probability distribution function of slope with a model function. The  resulting values have been compared to each other and to the existing live evaluation  of the ISG for a wide range of wind and fetch conditions. Also the fetch dependence of  mean square slope has been analyzed, which obtains information about the evolution  of a wave field.  Additionally the slope images have been separated with the use of band pass filters  into slope images of gravity waves and capillary waves. By separating gravity from  capillary waves it was possible to analyze their slope probability distribution functions  individually.
