Constants
Fetch Length
Fetch Length is the unobstructed distance that wind can travel over water in a constant direction.
Symbol: Fl
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wind Speed at Height of 10 m
Wind Speed at Height of 10 m refers to the average speed of the wind measured at a height of 10 meters above ground level.
Symbol: V10
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dimensionless Scaling Parameter
Dimensionless Scaling Parameter is a value used in mathematical or scientific models to scale or normalize variables without units. It is used in the JONSWAP spectrum for fetch-limited seas.
Symbol: α
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
