Pascoal, R. and Guedes Soares, C. (2008), “Non-Parametric Wave Spectral Estimation Using Vessel Motions”, Applied Ocean Research, Vol. 30, pp. 46-53

This paper presents a numerical procedure to estimate the wave spectrum based on measured motions of vessels at zero advance speed. The procedure has an underlying non-parametric formulation which allows for low constraint on the spectral shape, but for clearness the procedure continues to fitting of at most a double peaked parametric form. The parametric presentation is fast due to the use of simplified numerical procedure for a-priori estimation of the swell and wind sea spectral properties.
