Wave height question?

[TIN CAN]

As wind is actually a thinner version of liquid, remember gas to liquid to solid with temp fall. The colder that mass becomes the more dense it becomes. For this reason a jet flying at low altitude with denser air will burn significantly more fuel than at 30,000 feet with less drag from air density.

It's also the reason those poor guys on deadliest catch are nearly always in the soup, it's because of the very cold climate they operate in. If you consider that most days non fishable on lake Erie are the result of a passing cold front with a low pressure system. High temps and high pressure result in sunny flat breathless days on the lake. Cold, low pressure will get you wet from blow back as you bump along.

And yes that's the reason for the affect.
