Relationship between wavelength, wave period and water depth

Plot which shows relationship between wavelength, wave period and water depth.

This function gets the nomograph which shows the relationship between the wavelength, wave period and water depth using the dispersion equation.

0. Syntax:
>> wavelenvsth

1. Inputs:
None.

2. Outputs:
Nomograph.

3. Example:
>> run(wavelenvsth)

4. Notes:
- It's only necessary to run the function.
- In the nomograph, it is activated the data cursor mode in order to get the wavelength and waver depth in function of the water period.
- Wave depths in meters.
- Wave length in meters.
