NWRI contribution ; 85-138 "November 1985". "This has been submitted to the forthcoming Handbook of Civil Engineering to be published by Technomic Publishing. The contents are subject to change". Digitized edition from print [produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada]. Includes bibliographical references: p. 50-60. "Wind-generated waves and related topics are discussed in a handbook format suitable for a general civil engineer without an extensive background in hydraulics or coastal engineering. Linear wave theory is presented assuming monochromatic waves, and then is related to irregular waves. Basic wave processes, such as refraction, diffraction, reflection, shoaling and breaking, are reviewed. Techniques for the measurement of waves and wave direction are summarized. Wave statistics and methods of analysis are explained. Finally, simple methods of wave prediction are described for application with nomographs or hand-held calculators"--Abstract, p. i.
