Book Description
In over 53,000 visual observations made four times daily at 17 U.S. Coast Guard stations during June, July, and August, the average monthly diurnal variations in breaker height ranged from 0.05 to 0.36 foot; diurnal variations averaged about 10 percent of the monthly mean height. Stations along the Gulf and in the Pacific Northwest showed the most diurnal variations. Stations with good exposure had smaller absolute diurnal variations in height than stations with limited exposure. Absolute diurnal variations were also small at stations with large mean breaker heights. An approximation of the height, that combines the swell and sea breeze-generated waves, provides an indication of why observed variations were small. (Author).

Book Description
Excerpt from Diurnal Variations in Visually Observed Breaking Waves The frequency of sea breeze occurrence, which depends on latitude, season, and other factors, was estimated to be 30 to 40 percent in the summer for the eastern coast of the United States (wexler, Although the typical characteristics of the sea breeze can be modified by prevailing circulation patterns (moroz, the typical sea breeze varies from 1 to 7 hours in duration, and has maximum wind gusts of 30 knots. In the midlatitudes, maximum speeds are about 20 knots, and the mean speed is about 10 knots. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
