摘要

Volume I is an extension of and consists of several modifications to the earlier report by Bretschneider (April 1979) on the subject of hurricane design wind, wave and current criteria for the four potential OTEC sites. Volume I includes the 100-year hurricane criteria for the design of OTEC plants.nVolume II, under separate cover, represents the details of the technical development of and the calibration of the two-directional three parameter wave forecasting relationships, which are specially adapted for forecasting hurricane significant wave height, Hs, modal wave period fo-1" and the peak of the wave spectrum, Smax.
