Rodriguez, G.R., Guedes Soares, C. and Machado, U. (1999), “Uncertainty of the Sea State Parameters resulting from the Methods of Spectral Estimation", Ocean Enginering, Vol. 26, Issue 10, pp. 991-1002

The uncertainty of some commonly used spectral wave parameters resulting from the spectral estimation procedure is assessed. It is observed that the methods of spectral estimation produce a significant uncertainty for all parameters examined, but this is of considerable importance only for the peak period, which is one of the most important parameters to model the wave climate.
