The Douglas Sea Scale, developed by British meteorologist Sir Douglas Mawson in the early 20th century, is a system for classifying sea states based on visual observations. This scale helps maritime users, such as sailors and scientists, to describe the conditions of the sea in terms of wave height, wind strength, and overall sea surface appearance. The scale is typically divided into several categories, each associated with specific wave heights and the conditions they represent.
