From probability of exceendance to probability of flooding

A chain is never stronger than its weakest link. This insight is the basis for the calculation method to determine the f lood probabilities of dike ring areas in the Netherlands. The TAW can already formulate first recommendations on research and policy making. This does not imply that the research on 'Flood risks: a study on probabilities and...

Sea Waves on Deep Water

Analysis of sea states in deep water. - Discussed will be the difficulties of an analytical solution for the wave period and the wave height probability - The closed solution for the wave height probability in the limit of the band-width approaching zero - The closed solution for the wave height probability in the limit H/sqrt(m0)->inf. - The...
