APPENDIX 
The foregoing chapters are all of the material available in 
finished form for publication at the present time. Some detailed 
wave analyses will be carried out in a later chapter. This ap- 
pendix has been added in order to show six very interesting figures 
which illustrate the great range of possible wave records and the 
interpretation which can be put upon them in the light of the fore- 
going chapters. 
Figures A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6 are from the original 
paper by Klebba (1946). They have been furnished through the co- 
operation of Admiral E. H. Smith of Woods Hole Oceanographic In- 
stitution. The figures which show wave records are numbered on 
the right and the corresponding wave record analyses on figures 
A-3 and A=-6 have been numbered to correspond to the wave records 
for comparison purposes. , 
The sharp jagged tops of the spectra shown (which are not 
necessarily power spectra) are probably due to design faults of 
the instrument and to sampling error. The band width of the tuned 
circuit of the instrument is probably so narrow that the instrument 
responds very erratically to portions of the record near certain 
critical frequencies. For example in figure A-3, the sharp jagged 
tops in the spectra numbered 13 and 14 could be drastically smoothed 
in order to obtain a spectrum more like the one numbered 15. 
These data are not quantitative in any way because the instru- 
ment has a gain control anc the gain of the electronic circuits 
was readjusted for the various analyses. (See for example records
