Molitor-Stevenson Equation Formula
Equation for calculate molitor-stevenson equation is,
Molitor-Stevenson Equation
i. fetch greater than 20 miles hw = 0.17
- V = wind velocity
- F = fetch, statute miles
- hw = height of wave from trough to crest
- For wave heights between 1 and 7 ft, the velocity, v, in feet per second is given approximately by the formula
v ≈ 7+ 2*hw.
