RSM Tool: WIS Fact Sheet

<div>The objective of the Wave Information Studies is to provide high-quality coastal wave hindcast model estimates, wave analyses products and decision tools nationwide. Wave estimates are hindcast using high quality wind fields, ice fields where appropriate and the latest wave modeling technology. To satisfy the Corps requirement for risk-based designs, at least 20- 30 years of continuous wave climatology data are required. Hindcast datasets provide hourly wave information for locations every few miles along the coast. The long-term hindcast wave data are accessible through the WIS website.</div>
