Measured wind-wave climatology lake IJssel (NL) : main results for the period 1997-2006

In the period 1997-2007, an extensive wind and wave measuring campaign has been carried out on lake IJssel and Lake Sloten in the Netherlands. The aim of this campaign was to gather and analyse welldocumentated wind and wave measurements of high quality, for a range of fetch, depth and (strong) wind conditions. The data should serve a number of purposes, and dike design in particular. The campaign has resulted in a good indication of wind and wave climatology of both lakes, while enhancing the knowledge on various aspects of wind and waves.
