In essatech/MNAI.CPBT: Municipal Natural Assets Initiative - Coastal Protection Benefit Toolbox

Wind Wave Model

Description

Estimates the wave height and period for a given wind speed, fetch distance and water depth.

Usage

windWave(wind_speed = 20, fetch_distance = 5000, water_depth = 100)

Arguments

wind_speed	Wind speed in units of meters per second.
fetch_distance	Fetch distance in units of meters.
water_depth	Average offshore water depth in units of meters.

Value

An estimate of the offshore wave height (meters) and wave period (seconds).

Examples

waveHeightPeriod <- windWave(wind_speed = 20, fetch_distance = 5000,
water_depth = 50)
print(waveHeightPeriod)
