Notes:
The properties of waves on a lake surface and the influence of water depth on these properties are discussed.The method, derived by the Beach Erosion Board, of predicting wave characteristics if the wind speed and fetch are known is outlined and the validity of the method in Loch Leven, Scotland, is confirmed.This prediction technique is then combined with the equations of classical hydrodynamics to form a method of assessing the nature and extent of wave action in lakes without direct measurement. The value of the ratio of the wave-mixed volume to the total lake volume as a meausre of hydraulic conditions in lakes is suggested.
