Figure 2. Wave bins used to establish the wave climatology at National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy 42040 (fig. 1). A total of 16 wave direction bins (D1–D16) and 8 wave height bins (H1–H8) were used to discretize the observations. Of the 128 direction and height bins, 12 contained no observations, indicated in gray, leaving 116 model scenarios. For the other wave bins, colors indicate the percentage of observations falling within that bin for the time period December 1995 through December 2013, with values ranging between 0.001–6.3 percent.
