Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two operational numerical Great Lakes wave models are described in detail and evaluated. One model is a modern spectral wave model developed at the U.S. Army Engineering Waterways Experiment Station (WES) for hindcasting extreme historic wave conditions in the Great Lakes. The other model is a relatively simple, significant wave model developed at the Techniques Development Laboratory (TDL) of the National Weather Service for providing predictions to aid local forecasters in Great Lakes areas. Evaluation of the WES model consists of comparing wave hindcasts for nine storms in Lake Erie during fall 1975. Evaluation of the TDL model consists of comparing forecasts during fall 1975 and fall 1976 at the Lake Erie sites and three Lake Michigan sites. When all the data are combined, the WES hindcast significant heights for specific times are generally within 0.5 meter of gage significant heights, but occasional differences of over 1 meter are observed. The WES hindcasts tend to be more accurate for situations where fetches are reasonably well defined than for situations where fetches are poorly defined and highly variable with slight changes in wind direction; the differences may be systematic. TDL forecast significant heights have a strong tendency to be higher than gage significant heights, although there may be a reverse tendency during very high wave conditions. TDL forecast significant periods are relatively unbiased but less variable than gage peak spectral periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains hindcast wave information that is applicable to many planning and design purposes on Lake Erie. Historical wind data from four stations along Lake Erie served as input to the numerical hindcast model, and significant wave heights were calculated for 5-, 10-, 20-, 50-, and 100-yr return periods. These results are provided in tabular form for 24 points along the Lake Erie shoreline. The mean significant period for each of these wave heights is also given. Information is provided for four seasons of the year (January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December) and is separated into three approach directions relative to shore. (Author).
