This paper develops a method for the prediction of wave height, period and direction on a 200-mile grid over the North Atlantic Ocean, using a wave spectrum technique. The method could be useful in conjunction with optimum ship routing across the ocean. AS discussed recently by Hanssen and James, sh...
