Hindcast Wave Information for the Great Lakes. Lake Michigan

Abstract

Thirty-two years of hindcast wind and wave information is summarized for 70 locations along the shoreline of Lake Michigan in four data products: (a) percent occurrence tables; (b) wave rose diagrams; (c) mean and largest wave heights and 32-year statistics tables; and (d) return period tables. The procedures used to produce this information are discussed, and examples verification against measurements are shown.
