Spectral Energy Density or Classical Moskowitz Spectrum

Go Spectral Energy Density = ((Dimensionless Constant*([g]^2)*(Coriolis Frequency^-5))/(2*pi)^4)*exp(0.74*(Coriolis Frequency/Limiting Frequency)^-4)

Straight-Line Distance over which Wind Blows

Go Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows = (Friction Velocity^2/[g])*5.23*10^-3*([g]*Wind Duration/Friction Velocity)^(3/2)

Wind Speed given Time required for Waves crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity

Go Wind Speed = ((77.23*Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows^0.67)/(Time required for Waves crossing Fetch*[g]^0.33))^(1/0.34)

Straight-Line Distance given Time required for Waves Crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity

Go Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows = ((Time required for Waves crossing Fetch*Wind Speed^0.34*[g]^0.33)/77.23)^(1/0.67)

Time required for Waves Crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity to become Fetch Limited

Go Time required for Waves crossing Fetch = 77.23*(Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows^0.67/(Wind Speed^0.34*[g]^0.33))

Spectral Energy Density

Go Spectral Energy Density = (Dimensionless Constant*([g]^2)*(Coriolis Frequency^-5))/(2*pi)^4

Water Depth for given Limiting Wave Period

Go Water Depth from Bed = [g]*(Limiting Wave Period/9.78)^(1/0.5)

Limiting Wave Period

Go Limiting Wave Period = 9.78*((Water Depth from Bed/[g])^0.5)

What is Fetch Length?

In Oceanography wind fetch, also known as fetch length or simply fetch, is the length of water over which a given wind has blown without obstruction. Fetch, area of ocean or lake surface over which the wind blows in an essentially constant direction, thus generating waves. The term also is used as a synonym for fetch length, which is the horizontal distance over which wave-generating winds blow.
