==Wave Data for GenCade==
Wave conditions, including significant wave height, peak period, and direction, drive the transport forces that impact coastal morphology. GenCade requires wave data for at least one location in the domain, and supports options for the user to specify wave data at multiple locations in the domain. Each wave gage includes:
* A location – (X,Y) coordinate as a feature point and Cell ID as an input to the model.
* A depth – the water depth at the gage.
* A time series of wave data events – The user obtains these events either from a buoy or from a local wave transformation model.
Issuing the command to edit wave data invokes the "Wave Gages" dialog. This dialog lists the gauge cell IDs and the depths. It also includes a button for each gage to view/edit the wave data at that gage.
 
Clicking on the "Data ..." button for any of the gages brings up the "Wave Events" dialog. This dialog displays the time, height, period and direction (in shore normal coordinates) for the gage. The data is in a spread sheet, so it may be copied and pasted from other spread sheet data. There is also an "Import" button that can be used bring up the [[SMS:File Import Wizard|import wizard]] to bring in wave events data stored in a text file.  The data is saved and passed to the model in the wave file.
