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

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA248002 | Open PDF

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.
