In conducting research I have come across these very informative sources:
http://www.owrc.com/waves/waves.html
This website explains a lot about the theory of waves. It explains the ‘mathematics’ behind waves and how they are formed. It also explains the key elements of waves (the Fetch, wind direction, height, length and direction to name a few). Although the website is simple and basic in its terms it is extremely easy to understand and has given me a basic knowledge to what and how was are formed.

This website was informative as it explains the actual math’s behind waves. It is a little too technical and advanced for me but I still found it very interesting finding out that behind waves there is actually a mathematical equation that can be used to describe it.

'There is a lunar gravitational constituent to atmospheric air pressure and emf tides, and these have essentially the same timing characteristics as ocean tidal forces. Again, a principal semidiurnal effect with diurnal and fortnightly modulation would be expected. In addition, in contrast to the ocean tides, atmospheric tides are driven more by thermal energy than by gravity. To reinforce this idea, the maximum lunar contribution to barometric pressure variation reported is 0.02 mmHg. Normal barometric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg. Lunar contribution to emf tides is 5%) while solar contribution is 95%. '
