AMPLITUDE DISTRIBUTIONS DESCRIBING OCEAN WAVE FIELD EVENTS
Keywords:
probability density, wave parameter, wave height, wave amplitude, wave crest elevations, marine wave fieldAbstract
Observed physical manifestations associated with marine wave fields are analysed. The essential interest in this study is on the wave crest elevations and the distribution of wave amplitude. Concerning amplitude fluctuations in a random wave field, the significant wave height appears distinct. This is so because of its role as the reference wave height in marine research activities. Finally, an important and interesting conclusion emanating from this study is the significant improvement in our deductions when the wave height is very close to the crest elevation which stands, in this case, as reference wave parameter in the study. This suggests that the probability density in this consideration is good for analysing events in the wave field and the related physical manifestations.
