Environmental conditions are described which will be modeled in the Military Worth evaluation and to specify at what environmental conditions the performance of the point design should be presented in the point design report. In evaluating the performance of a point design, the following environmental parameters will be considered: (1) Sea state was defined by the wave height and encounter frequency, (2) wind conditions associated with each sea state as defined by the velocity as a function of altitude, (3) air conditions as defined by air temperature, pressure, density and viscosity as a function of altitude, and (4) water conditions as defined by water temperature, density and viscosity as a function of depth.
