Transformation of Significant Wave Heights

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1987
A formula for transforming significant wave heights of wind seas between locations of differing depths is developed from the concept of the equilibrium range in the spectrum. The transformation is assumed valid for single‐peaked equilibrium wind seas which do not contain swell components.

Modelling distributions of significant wave height

Coastal Engineering, 2000
Abstract The paper discusses the use of distribution functions in the description of the long-term behaviour of significant wave height data. It is shown by an example that the usual goodness-of-fit diagnostics do not ensure correct predictions of return values based on arbitrary statistical models.

Spatio‐temporal statistical modelling of significant wave height

Environmetrics, 2008
AbstractIn this paper, we construct a homogeneous spatio‐temporal model to describe the variability of significant wave height over small regions of the sea and over short periods of time. Then, the model is extended to a non‐homogeneous one that is valid over larger areas of the sea and for time periods of up to 10 h.

Estimation of wave height probability based on the statistics of significant wave height

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2017
The problems of extreme wave detection and their probability are discussed. The sea waves’ statistics are investigated on the basis of two data sets: the first set is calculated as a superposition of linear waves with realistic spectrum, while the second one is generated in the course of ensemble modeling of wave field based on three-dimensional, full ...

Modelling bivariate distributions of significant wave height and mean wave period

Applied Ocean Research, 2002
The use and scope of bivariate parametric probability distribution functions in the joint modelling of significant wave height and mean zero-upcrossing period are discussed. It is suggested that, for some applications, the calculation of probabilities can be made with kernel density estimates, instead of adopting parametric models.

Significant Wave Height for Shallow Water Design

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1985
Wave height parameters used in coastal and ocean engineering are grouped into three classes according to their definition bases: height statistics, energy, and monochromatic. Parameters within each class are easily interrelated for most engineering purposes.

Volatility Modeling for Ocean Significant Wave Height Estimation

2021 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM), 2021
In a previous paper by the same authors in the current conference series [1], an interesting relation was derived which showed that the significant wave height H s is linearly proportional to the standard deviation of the received time series from a monostatic HF radar.

Significant Wave Height Estimation without Doppler Spectra

2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM), 2018
For over sixty years [1], the usual procedure to determine the significant wave height from HF-radar data has been to first form the Doppler spectrum from the received radar data, and then process the result to extract important ocean wave parameters, such as the significant wave height, primary wave period, principal wave direction, or even the full ...
