RESULTS - REFRACTION ANALYSIS
Wave refraction patterns in the Yahara River outlet to Lake Mendota were simulated from STWAVE. The diagrams illustrate the various refraction patterns generated from different wind directions/speeds. The different colored contours indicate the height of the wave in meters.
Southeast Wind (135° from true north)
4 m/sec. 8 m/sec.
16 m/sec.
Southwest Wind (225° from true north)
4 m/sec. 8 m/sec.
16 m/sec.
East Wind (95° from true north)
West Wind (265° from true north)
4 m/sec. 16 m/sec.
South Wind (180° from true north)
4 m/sec. 16 m/sec.
