RESULTS - WAVE BREAKING ANALYSIS
STWAVE simulated wave breaking patterns in the Yahara River outlet to Lake Mendota. Diagrams were constructed to illustrate the wave breaking areas generated from various wind directions/speeds. The red portion indicates wave breaking regions, while the blue region indicates minimal breaking waves.
