Abstract :
Wave data collected during ARSLOE at distances 3, 6, 12 and 34 km offshore are used to examine the growth of wind waves with fetch. Nondimensional energy, 
, and peak frequency, 
, are computed and related to nondimensional fetch, 
, for a variety of windspeed and atmospheric stability cases. Relations for vs , 
vs , and vs are compared to those reported in the literature. The JONSWAP equations are found to be appropriate, despite the presence of significant swell.
