Square Root of Depth 



Figure A-2. Field data, 25 October 1980. H = 4a, measured at the FRF, is 

 plotted against the square root of water depth, (h) 1/2 . Also 

 plotted are the values of H estimated by the method of this 

 CETA given a at 36 meters (line A) and a at 9 meters (line 

 B). The breaker height, H^, is plotted (line C) with bottom 

 slope variations accounted for. An estimate of H = 0.5h is also 

 given (line D) . During the storm, maximum wave heights of 5.6 

 meters were observed in 7- to 9-meter depths.
