Atlantic Coast Hindcast. Phase 2. Wave Information: Additional Extremal Estimates

摘要

Estimates of extreme wave heights for 73 open-ocean locations on the US East Coast are presented. The estimates include the median wave heights and interquartile ranges for 100-, 50-, 20-, 10-, and 5- year return periods. Only waves generated by extra-tropical storms are considered. Hurricane generated waves will be analyzed in future work. Keywords: Ocean waves; Atlantic Ocean; Storm surges.
