Waves and wave forecasting / by C.T. Bishop and M.A. Donelan. : En13-5/85-138E-PDF
"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.
