Directional spectrum of wind-generated ocean waves

Two sets of published data on an area 2700ft. by 1800ft. of sea surface in the North Atlantic are analysed by an optical computer which gives directly the directional spectrum. The results are compared with (i) those of other investigators obtained laboriously by using a digital computer, (ii) the f...

Description
Summary:Two sets of published data on an area 2700ft. by 1800ft. of sea surface in the North Atlantic are analysed by an optical computer which gives directly the directional spectrum. The results are compared with (i) those of other investigators obtained laboriously by using a digital computer, (ii) the frequency spectrum, and (iii) an empirical prediction.
