Wave Information Studies of US Coastlines: Hindcast Wave Information for the Great Lakes: Lake Superior

Abstract

Thirty-two years of hindcast wind and wave information is summarized for 95 locations among the shoreline of Lake Superior in four data products: percent occurrence tables, wave rose diagrams, mean and largest wave heights and 32-year statistics tables, and return period tables. The procedures used to produce this information are discussed, and examples of verification against measurements are shown.
