are available at these and other Pacific Coast stations is presented 

 in the report Issue No. 4 S Series No. 14 (see Part VI). 



Recommendations - It is highly desirable that certain key wave re- 

 cording stations along the entire Pacific Coast be maintained in con- 

 tinuous operation to provide (a) statistical -wave data for design pur- 

 poses, (b) data for checking wave hindcasts which might be desired for 

 intermediate localities, and (c) data for the development of storm 

 tracking techniques and other investigations of both peacetime and 

 wartime importance. 



The most expensive part of wave recording installations is the 

 armored submarine cable. Fortunately, the cables at the inactive 

 California stations are still usable. The cable at H®ceta Head, Oregon 

 probably is no longer usable ° 3 however, a supply of cable for this in- 

 stallation is in storage at Astoria, Oregon. 



CLASSI FIED RESEARCH 



Because of the classification of the research work completed 

 under this task, no summary of the material is presented in this 

 report. It should be mentioned, however, that the funds expended 

 in this investigation were greater than originally anticipated; 

 consequently, the scope of the investigations reported above and con- 

 ducted under this contract was of necessity reduced.
