. Annual data summary for 1982 CERC Field Research Facility. Oceanographic research stations; Meteorology; Water waves. -1—I I I I I 1 1—I—I I I I I I 10° 10" PERCENT GREATER THAN INDICATED Figure 18. Wave height distributions for 1980 through 1982 85. The addition of one year of 1982 data to the 1980 and 1981 data set did not noticeably change the annual wave height distribution (Figure 19) nor the spring, fall, and winter data. The July to September distribution was lowered by only to percent. 86. Distribution of wave periods for the combined data set was similar for all gages (Figure 20) with most periods being between 5 and 12 sec. As with the height distribution, the addition of data for 1982 had little effect on the wave period distribution. Table 12 presents the joint distribution of wave heights and periods for gages 625 and 620 for the combined 1980-1982 data. For storm conditions when FL exceeded 2 m, there was a range of o periods from 6 to 17 sec, although as the heights increased the periods tended to increase also. 87. Wave direction of approach for the combined data (Figure 21) was approximately evenly split between directions north and south of the pier axis. However, storm waves approached twice as frequently from the north than from the south. 88. Summary statistics have been presented which show that wave condi- tions at the FRF have a spatial and temporal variation. The cold months of 51.
