Wave Information Studies of US Coastlines. Wave Information Study Annual Summary Report, Gulf of Mexico 1994.
1997
Tracy, Barbara A. | Cialone, Alan
Under the Wave Information Studies authorized by Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a 'nowcast' system has been instituted to make U.S. coastal wave information available to users. The WIS nowcast adds yearly updates to the original database and meets the needs of coastal engineers who need recent wave information. The nowcast wave hindcasts use monthly wind information from the National Meteorological Center to drive the WIS wave hindcast model. Measured wave buoy data, available several months after being recorded, are used to verify the numerical hindcasts. When the completed hindeast has been verified with measured data, the nowcast information is transferred to the Coastal Engineering Data Retrieval System (CEDRS) on the World Wide Web computer network. This report, the first in a series of annual GOM nowcast reports, discusses the WIS 1994 Gulf of Mexico (GOM) wave hindcast for U.S. nearshore coastal stations in the gulf.
