Encounter Probability of Significant Wave Height [PDF]
, 1998 The determination of the design wave height (often given as the significant wave height) is usually based on statistical analysis of long-term extreme wave height measurement or hindcast. The result of such extreme wave height analysis is often given as the design wave height corresponding to a chosen return period.

Modelling significant wave height in the North Atlantic
2003The surface of the ocean, and so such quantities as the significant wave height, can be thought of as a random surface in space which develops over time. In this paper, we explore certain types of random fields (in space and time) as models for the significant wave height and fit these models to data obtained from the TOPEX-Poseidon satellite. The data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1979
A technique for estimating the ocean surface roughness probability density function from satellite altimeter data is presented. Results from the application of the technique to Geos 3 altimeter data demonstrate its ability to detect both large‐scale and small‐scale structural deviations from the Gaussian distribution. Knowledge of the surface roughness

Significant Wave Height Retrieval from Gaofen-3 Wave Mode Images
IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018Significant wave height $(H_{s})$ , is an important parameter, represented as the integration of directional wave spectra. Although many researchers have directly extracted $H_{s}$ from SAR images and got a great accuracy of retrieval, those approaches are not suitable for GF-3 SAR data. In this paper, we propose an empirical approach for SAR $H_{s}

A new method for modelling the space variability of significant wave height
Extremes, 2005The paper is devoted to stochastic modelling of significant wave heights \(H_s\) (\(s\) being the spatial location) in the North Atlantics based on data of the TOPEX-Poseidon satellite, which measures \(H_s\) along one-dimensional tracks. In the model \(X_s=\log H_s\) is considered as a sum of two independent Gaussian processes which describe a long ...

Estimating Nearshore Significant Wave Height for Irregular Waves
2023Design curves for predicting nearshore significant wave height for irregular wave conditions, given deepwater wave conditions and the nearshore bottom slope, are presented. Examples of the curves. used are given. The design curves were developed using the analytical model of Goda (1975).

System for Estimation of Significant Height and Direction of Waves by using Radar Intensities
IEEE Latin America Transactions, 2014The paper explains the process for obtaining ocean variables using a radar located ashore. The paper presents one algorithm for selecting a sea clutter area with required information to calculate sea variables. The reported algorithms to extract those variables have been enhanced by including filtering stages.

A Model for the Distribution Function for Significant Wave Height
2023A model based on a three-parameter Weibull distribution function is given for the longterm distribution of significant wave height. The model, formulated in dimensionless terms, is believed to provide a more general representation than the corresponding models given in the Shore Protection Manual (SPM).
