Publication Date: March 1953 
Location: Three stations on Lake Ontario were selected for 
a comprehensive wave analysis, the locations 
being as follows: 
Latitude Longitude Vicinity 
AZ U7Y IN 79°46" W Hamilton, Ont. 
ASO 1ST I 77°35" W Rochester, N. Y. 
43°49' N 76°18' W Sitomyae Rost Niwas 
Wave Data: 1948-1950 
Period of Coverage: Wave characteristics: 1948-1950 
Water levels: 1860-1951 
Contents: This publication is divided into two sections: (a) lake level 
statistics, and (b) wave statistics. 
The lake level data include average seasonal fluctuation, a frequency of 
occurrence for short period fluctuations, and a probability of occurrence of 
annual maximum monthly mean lake level for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 consecutive 
years. 
The wave statistics section is divided into separate subsections for each 
location. Each subsection contains statistical hindcast data for each month, 
statistical hindcast data for a full year, statistical hindcast data for ice- 
free periods, and statistical energy data for various periods. Wave roses and 
duration and frequency of waves as a function of wave heights are also 
included.
