Significant wave height values detected by the altimeter instrument flying aboard Jason-3. The pass detected a nearly 400 nm long swath of phenomenal seas greater than 45 feet, with highest embedded significant wave height values to 57.8 feet (17.6 meters)!A hurricane-force low-pressure system in the northwestern Pacific Ocean is living up to the hype, generating massive heights measured at over 57 feet!
Following up on forecasts calling for 55 ft. (17 m) wave heights, the National Weather Service’s Ocean Predication Center reported Wednesday that satellite altimeter readings have shown actual significant wave heights of greater than 45 feet over an enormous 400 nm swath of ocean, with the highest wave height recorded at 57.87 feet (that’s 17.6 meters!).
