| Abstract: | A climatology of ocean wave spectra has been developed for the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Long term records from 7 National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys were used for this study. Supplement information on wave direction was obtained from a relatively shorter hindcast database that was developed using the third generation wave spectral model WAVEWATCH III |
