Description:

This climatological study is based upon 10 years of wave observations on the Great Lakes. The observations are summarized for each of the lakes according to month of the year. Also, an overall summary for all months together is given for each lake. The cumulative frequencies of wave height for each lake are shown on a logarithmic scale. A problem in the coding of very low period waves prior to 1968 is briefly discussed.
