Extract

In 1967 a compilation of visual wave data was published as a book with the title Ocean Wave Statistics, which is still widely used. In 1983 work began on the development of a new global atlas of wave statistics which will be available both as a book and as a computer database. This task is being undertaken by NMI Ltd in collaboration with the UK Meteorological Office with funding from the Department of Industry and is expected to take about three years. A preliminary account of the project has already been published. This article briefly recapitulates the case for the new atlas and updates the indication previously given of the proposed form of the contents, which has been revised in the light of comments received. Reference will be included to the plans for an associated database not mentioned in the previous account.
