Abstract

Based on accurate wave data obtained from the observations in Arabian Sea cyclone of June 1976 by the rigs of ONGC in Bombay High area and also with additional data of wave observations by ships in the depression field of May 1975 over the same sea a linear relationship between wave height and wind speed is obtained empirically. A simple model for this bas been proposed. The relationship has been tested for the depression of September 1974 and cyclonic storm of 1978. The agreement between observed and predicted wave height is found to be reasonably good.
