Atlantic Coast Hindcast, Deepwater, Significant Wave Information
Abstract
Using a numerical hindcast technique, deepwater, significant wave data (height, peak period, and direction) have been computed for the 20-year interval 1956 through 1975 for the U. S. Atlantic coast. The wave data are presented for 13 stations in 8 data products: (1) Percent Occurrence Tables, (2) Percent Exceedance Diagrams, (3) Duration Table, (4) Wave Rose Diagrams, (5) Height, Period, Direction Histograms, (6) Return Period Diagrams, (7) Steepness Diagrams, (8) Mean and Largest Wave-Height Tables. A brief description of each product is given and some sections on use of the products, including examples, are provided.
