Plotting Data

• How would you plot the wind speed and wave height data to compare the two?

• Two Ways– Wind Speed and Wave Height separate– Wind Speed Against Wave Height

• How big do you think the waves were and how strong do you think the winds were?

Activity

• Three pairs of data– Wind direction and Air temperature– Salinity and Rainfall– Wind Speed and Dominant Wave Period
