Contents: This publication contains 36 separate tables, one for each station 
and storm. Wind velocity, fetch length, wind duration, and decay distances 
were determined from 6-hr synoptic weather charts for the North Pacific Ocean. 
Significant wave heights, the range of wave periods, the significant wave 
period, and the mean wave direction were then determined. Wherever possible, 
observational wave data from ships near the study sites were examined to cor- 
relate with the hindcast data.
