Description
Summary:A summary is given of the trade routes of U.S. ships, followed by suggestions for new projects and extension and improvement of current projects to meet the need for additional data on sea conditions encountered by U.S. ships. It is concluded that the greatest benefit can be obtained by making a direct effort to obtain wave spectra for the ocean areas on important sea routes that are known to experience severe sea conditions, probably by the use of moored buoys, and by further verification and improvement of wave hindcast techniques for eventual application to obtaining wave spectra for design. At the same time, steps should be initiated that may lead to the availability of wave data in the future, such as seeking oil company data.
