What is Fetch Length?
In Oceanography wind fetch, also known as fetch length or simply fetch, is the length of water over which a given wind has blown without obstruction. Fetch, area of ocean or lake surface over which the wind blows in an essentially constant direction, thus generating waves. The term also is used as a synonym for fetch length, which is the horizontal distance over which wave-generating winds blow.
How to Calculate Straight-Line Distance given Time required for Waves Crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity?
Straight-Line Distance given Time required for Waves Crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity calculator uses Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows = ((Time required for Waves crossing Fetch*Wind Speed^0.34*[g]^0.33)/77.23)^(1/0.67) to calculate the Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows, The Straight-Line Distance given Time required for Waves Crossing Fetch under Wind Velocity formula is defined as the total stretch in a straight line for the waves to become fetch limited. Straight Line Distance over which Wind Blows is denoted by X symbol.
