Abstract: Tropical cyclone wave spectra in deep water have been put in a universal form similar to the JONSWAP spectra. Average spectral shape parameters were defined from values obtained in the open literature. Spectral level, peak frequency and significant wave height correlations with dimensionless fetch were obtained from Gulf of Mexico hurricanes Camille 1969, Eloise 1975, Edith 1971 and Felice 1970 and compared to tropical cyclone waves in the Eastern and Western Pacific. The data indicates that the correlations obtained can be useful for climatological studies of deep water tropical cyclone waves.
