Directional Spectra of Seas near Full Development

摘要: Abstract Estimates of the directional wave spectrum have been obtained from a data buoy in southwest approaches to British Isles. Four years simultaneous and wind measured at were screened for conditions approaching full development. The observed frequency spectra made nondimensional using similarity law Kitaigorodskii then averaged over six speed classes. Comparisons are with Pierson-Moskowitz fully developed seas. For speeds (at 10 m level) below 16 s−1, average lies consistently form, while higher region peak similar values this spectrum. Similarly, energy significantly lower than value less s−1. speeds, is close value. spread was studied two parame...
