HINDCASTING THE DIRECTIONAL SPECTRA OF HURRICANE-GENERATED WAVES

A method for specifying hurricane-generated waves in the Gulf of Mexico in terms of the directional wave spectrum has been developed. The method includes a description of the surface-wind field from historical meteorological data through the application of a dynamic-hurricane frictional boundary-layer model.
