Summary

Description
English: This graph shows a comparison between the methods of Wilson (1965) and Stevenson (1852) to predict the significant wave height for a given fetch. Stevenson's formula does not consider wind speed. Wilson's formula results are given for 3 different wind speeds (13.41m/s, 22.35m/s and 33.53m/s) - 30, 50 and 75mph.
