Global and North Atlantic Atlas of Monthly Ocean Waves, by Gulev et al.
|
|
Monthly 2-degree by 2-degree and 5-degree by 5-degree wave
statistics were computed for 1958-1997 (Global Waves) and
1964-1993 (North Atlantic Waves) respectively from COADS
shipboard wave observations.
Significant wave heights are determined for several different
schemes.
