This monograph is an attempt to compile the present state of
knowledge on ocean wave analysis and prediction. The emphasis of
the monograph is on the development of ocean wave analysis and
predic tion procedures and their utility for real-time operations
and appli cations. Most of the material in the monograph is derived
from journal articles, research reports and recent conference
proceedings; some of the basic material is extracted from standard
text books on physical oceanography and wind waves. Ocean wave
analysis and prediction is becoming an important activity in the
meteorological and oceanographic services of many countries. The
present status of ocean wave prediction may be compar able to the
status of numerical weather prediction of the mid-sixties and early
seventies when a number of weather prediction models were developed
for research purposes, many of which were later put into
operational use by meteorological services of several countries.
The increased emphasis on sea-state analysis and prediction has
created a need for a ready reference material on various ocean wave
analysis and modelling techniques and their utility. The present
monograph is aimed at fulfilling this need. The monograph should
prove useful to the ocean wave modelling community as well as to
marine forecasters, coastal engineers and offshore technologists.
The monograph could also be used for a senior undergraduate (or a
first year graduate) level course in ocean wave modelling and
marine meteorology.
