WAVE HEIGHTS IN A 4D OCEAN WAVE FIELD

This paper presents a preliminary examination and analysis of a small suite of 4-D wave data to explore what new insight or inference we can garner -- particularly toward the realm where conventional approaches have not been traversed. While we caught a few glimpses that might indicate a need for new conceptualizations, it by no means to negates the vast positive contributions the conventional approaches have been made in the past century. We feel it is timely to encourage further 4-D ocean wave measurement and thereny facilitate fresh new states of study and understanding of ocean waves.
