An Analysis System for Fields of Significant Wave Height.

Abstract

A system is described tor the analysis of combined significant wave height using three primary information sources--in-situ observations, satellite-derived data, and the output generated by a spectral wave model. Examples are given together with field verification statistics. Methods for adjusting the SOWM spectrum fo conform to analyzed values of significant wave height are discussed. (Author)
