Petrova, P.G. and Guedes Soares, C. (2006), “Spatial Variability of the Wave Field Generated in an Offshore Basin”, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STAB´06), 25-29 September, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Results of a study on the spatial variability of irregular wave fields generated in an offshore basin are presented. The available data set consists of approximately 3-hour deep and shallow water time series of free surface elevation. Some shallow water wave fields include a simultaneous current. The spatial variability has been checked by means of nonparametric and parametric statistical significance tests, where the nonparametric methods serve to validate the conclusions of the parametric tests, as being considered more reliable when samples with non-Gaussian statistics are checked.
