Pierson-Moskowitz Spectrum

The Pierson–Moskowitz (PM) spectra is an empirical relationship that defines the distribution of energy with frequency within the ocean. The result is given as a wave height power spectra density. Developed in 1964, the PM spectrum is one of the simplest descriptions for the energy… Read more
