OCEAN WAVE STATISTICS FROM FLEET NUMERICAL WEATHER CENTRAL SPECTRAL ANALYSES

This report is directed toward potential applications of Fleet Numerical Weather Central spectral ocean wave products to coastal engineering. It deals specifically with formatting and properties of climatological wave data derived from synoptic spectral, wave information and speculates on the shoal water transformation of these deep-water data.
