between the energy supply by wind and the energy dissipation by 

 eddy viscosity at different stages of wave development ♦ These re- 

 lationships have been developed on the basis of theoretical consider- 

 ations and application of empirical laws. The results are presented 

 in graphs and tables for practical use, by means of which the height, 

 length, period and velocity of dominating waves at different wind 

 velocities, fetches or durations can be estimated. The comparison 

 of theoretical results with observations shows satisfactory agree- 

 ment.
