wave spectrum

A concept used to describe the distribution of energy among waves of different period. Wave speed increases with wave length, so distant storms may be detected by the increase of energy in long period waves. Sea is fully developed when all possible wave frequencies possess energies appropriate to the spectrum for the prevailing wind speed.
