| Figure 10. Comparison of wave time series constructed using probabilistic method and observations at National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy 42012 for April 2, 2010, to December 30, 2013 (left column), and comparison of the WavewatchIII® dataset and the observations for the same time period (right column). Comparisons of (A, B) significant wave height, (C, D) peak wave period, and (E) mean wave direction. WavewatchIII® output is every 3 hours, whereas Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) results are hourly, resulting in a larger number of points. [m, meters; s, seconds; deg, degrees] | ||
