CRAMP Rapid Assessment. Waves
Quantification of all wave variables is generated using significant wave height and mean wave direction from Naval Oceanographic WAM models downloaded during 2001 (www.navo.navy.mil). Hawai‘i forecasts are generated from data collected by instruments on buoys surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Wave factors used in data analysis include mean, minimum and maximum annual and seasonal wave heights and mean annual wave direction.
