Saville, T., Jr., BEB IM 38 
Publication Date: March 1953 
Location: Three stations on Lake Ontario were selected for 
a comprehensive wave analysis: 
Latitude Longitude Vicinity 
ABOVE I 79°46" W Hamilton, Ont. 
ABOUSY ji V7 35" Wi Rochester, N. Y. 
43°49' N 76°18" W Stony Point, N. Y. 
Period of Coverage: 1948-1950 (wave data), 1860-1951 (lake level 
data) 
Contents: This publication is divided into two sections: lake level sta- 
tistics and wave statistics. 
The lake level data include average seasonal fluctuation, a frequency of 
occurrence for short period fluctuations, and data on probability of occur- 
rence of annual maximum monthly mean lake level for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 con- 
secutive 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.
