| Figure 18. Significant wave height (table 2, metric 1) for scenarios A, H3_D6 and B, H3_D8 (fig. 2) in the northern Gulf of Mexico alongshore Alabama and Florida. Nearshore wave height in each scenario originated with 1- to 1.5-meter (m)-high waves at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration buoy 42040, but with southeasterly and south-southeasterly wind directions, respectively. | ||
