Height and period of swell as functions
of distance from the generation region, wind speed in the
generation region and travel time to the observation
point. Example: Swell of 2 m height and 14 second period (the dot in the
diagram) is produced by a wind blowing at 18 m s-1 at 2000 km distance 62
hours ago.
