Abstract

In this note an attempt is made to ascertain the effect of exposure on the disturbance of Hebridean Seas, as produced by winds from different directions and of various forces on the Beaufort Scale.

The term “sea disturbance” is taken in its broadest sense, being the actual state of the surface of the sea as experienced by the observing ships at the time of observation, whether the roughness be due to wind‐waves or swell or a combination of both these elements.

The height of waves is the apparent distance in feet from trough to crest, as estimated by eye observation by the Masters of the observing ships.

A comparison is made between the relative roughness of the Minch and the Sea of the Hebrides; and the apparent effect of the width of the channel, at right angles to the wind, on the height of waves up channel from seaward is shown from data obtained in the Sound of Sleat.
