And because wave energy projects are relatively unobtrusive, they’re far less controversial than offshore wind, which has generated fierce opposition on both U.S. coasts. In September ...

As well as an increase in wave height, sustained high wind speeds generate waves with a longer period—that is, the distance or time between successive wave crests. Oceanographers refer to the ...

But very large storms with high, sustained winds can generate waves with periods of more than 20 seconds. These waves travel much faster, over 100km per hour in the open ocean, and their energy (which ...
