FORECASTING SEA WAVES

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Describe the generation and growth of sea waves (Generation and growth). 

Explain the formation of fully developed seas (Fully Developed Sea). 

Recognize the factors associated with nonfully developed seas (Nonfully Developed Sea), and determine and analyze features associated with sea waves. 

Define sea wave terms and describe an objective method of forecasting sea waves (Objective methods for forecasting sea waves).

Since sea waves are in the generating area, forecasting of them will be most important when units are deployed in areas close to storm centers. Problems encountered in providing these forecasts will include accurately predicting the storm track and the intensity of the winds that develop the sea waves. Now let’s look at the generation and growth of sea waves.
