Standardized Wave and Wind Environments for NATO Operational Areas
This report is a source document for specifying wind and wave conditions for those regions considered appropriate for joint operations of NATO naval forces. The areas considered are the North Atlantic Ocean northward from the Tropic of Cancer, the Mediterranean Sea, and coastal or landlocked areas s...
