ABSTRACT
The DEn programme concentrated on the following main areas. Where appropriate, we refer to other work under the same heading.
4.2.1 Wave data
This provides the basic design information. Because of the time scales of wave variability, it can take some years to build up a good statistical model of wave amplitude and directionality for a particular site. However, the combination of wind statistics (which are much more complete) with the Meteorological Office wind-wave forecasting method has enabled good working models, including directionality, to be developed for most areas of interest.
