Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. / The knowledge of wave refraction is important in many studies. The
rapid and relatively easy gaining of this knowledge is made possible by
the use of the modern high-speed digital computer. Large numbers of
spectral periods and incoming directions are easily investigated, and
immediate results are obtained by use of the plot of the wave crest refraction
from the computer. This program presents the wave crest refraction
pattern of numerous wave ray points rather than the single ray
following technique. Its use is valuable in amphibious operation planning,
and in other studies where the distribution of wave energy along
the shore is desired for the many periods of the wave spectrum.
