5.12 Summary
This chapter presented the characteristics and, where possible, the techniques for predicting water level fluctuations having a period greater than the periods of waves in the wind wave portion of the wave energy spectrum. The discussion of surface waves to this point considered only the simple monochromatic form of these waves. Chapter 6 considers the complex form of wind-generated waves observed at sea as well as the generation, analysis, and prediction of these waves.
