Statistical evaluation of wave conditions in a deltaic area

Coastal encineering problems concerning wind waves and~ell can be solved with the aid of hydraulic or mathematical models, The irregular wave field i.e. the state of the sea surface can be described in a sufficient way for engineering problems either by parameters such as significant wave height and mean wave period, or in the form of power...

Facts and figures pertaining to the bivariate Rayleigh distribution

There is some evidence that the heights and the periods squared of wind waves each are Rayleigh- distributed. If this is the case, it may be surmised that their joint distribution is also of the Rayleigh type. The bivariate Rayleigh distribution, which is known in the field of statistical communications theory, may thus be applicable to wind...
