Publisher's Synopsis
This CD-ROM is based on material presented in the book version. It provides searchable text-based information on global wind and wave regimes, including an introduction to global meteorology and ocean wind waves, and preparation of data gathered from the GEOSAT satellite. The database of wind and wave parameters can be interactively accessed to produce contour charts with global and regional coverage. The raw GEOSAT data has been processed to eliminate errors and to calibrate measurements with in situ readings. Features of the CD-ROM include: text and illustrations; contour charts; database; path function; and bookmark function.
