Analysis of Data on Water Waves. Volume 2. Mono Lake Field Experiment

Abstract

The data from the 1965 Mono Lake test series agreed well with the analysis performed during the DASA wave program. The data should be analyzed in comparison to the predictions performed prior to the experiment in order to determine why the run-up predictions were consistently low by approximately 50%. The mathematical analysis was formulated for constructing theoretical wave trains from two mathematical models using empirical constants as the input for any condition in the deep water surface wave case. The theoretical wave trains can be easily modified by changing the parameters eta sub o and R sub o to agree with the experimental data.
