This book studies ocean waves and related geophysical wave phenomena through observation, measurement, and physical interpretation. The title page states that the main author is Vaughan Cornish, with photographs by the author and additional notes by Harold Jeffreys. The book covers the size and speed of ocean waves in relation to wind velocity, including measurements from ships, observations during storms, wave steepness, swell, and the development of waves over open water.The book also extends the wave discussion to sand, snow, river bores, and other progressive waves. It examines wind-formed sand waves, drifting snow waves, sub-aqueous sand waves, tidal bores, roll waves, and waves in shallow water. The additional notes by Harold Jeffreys provide mathematical and physical interpretation of wave generation, fluid motion, turbulence, sand transport, dunes, bores, and related processes.
