Wave Directional Spectra and Wave-Current Interaction in Lake St. Clair

Analysis of wave data obtained from a three-wavestajf array and collected during a 1985 field study on Lake St. Clair revealed, in some cases, significant differences between the wind and wave directions. High-resolution directional spectrum estimates were obtained using an “exact-form” of the Maximum Likelihood Method. The results indicate that the wavefield structure of lakes as small as Lake St. Clair can be very complicated and display …
