Seasonal Variations in Great Lakes Design Wave Heights: Lake Erie.

Abstract

Tables of 5-day extremal parameters are presented, along with a methodology for the calculation of design wave heights for variable intervals of time during the year. A brief description of the Great Lakes Climatology is included to provide a meteorological context for the wave height variations throughout the year. (Author)
