represents the wave climate at the site. A potential improvement of BWL0SS1 

 is the incorporation of period and depth effects for an estimate of $L(Hg , 

 T , d) given the joint probability distribution F(Hg , Tp , d) . A further 

 improvement would also incorporate the storm duration t for an estimate of 

 $L(H<, , T , t , d) , given F(H^ , T , t , d) . These enhancements will

involve a much more rigorous computation than is now performed by BWLOSSl. 

 The program is now completely interactive and easily adaptable to execution by 

 microcomputer systems. 



Sample Execution and Output
