Thank you for the information. I apologize for the error "Schoenberger -v- Schrödinger. I was recently involved in an industrial accident (compressed air) and have some hearing loss. Correction: Schrödinger...hope that is right. I have one college Physics course under my belt some 25...

Thanks. I watched this program when it first aired and it addresses most of my questions but does not provide the formulas or the answers. Science Channel - Last night - 8/23/2009 - "Killer Waves" Science Channel - 9/07/2009 (my birthday-must be some significance there) - "Killer Waves"...

Very helpful, THANK YOU! From your explanation and formula, it is reasonable to state that a 20' wave is not possible from a 4' sea state. Excellent. Something in the order of an 11' wave sate would have existed to have created the 20' wave. Would energy from an underwater current moving...

You're right. I believe the formula(s) needs to be worked "backwards" to arrive at an answer. What I mean by sea state is in effect "energy". By energy in this example I mean wave height in feet, a 3' to 4' sea state, 3' to 4' waves = wave energy. With the linear wave formula I am...

RE: Ocean Waves: 1. Linear Wave Formula - What is the average sea state that is capable of producing a 20 ft. wave? 2. Schoenbergers Wave Formula – What is the smallest average sea state that is capable of producing a 20 ft. wave?
