Rodriguez, G.R., Pacheco, M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2004), “Maximum Wave Height Distribution in a Sea State: Effects of Record Length and Spectral Peakedness”, Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE´04), 20–25 June, 2004, Vancouver, Canada, ASME, New York, Paper OMAE2004-51642.
The probability distribution of the maximum wave height in a sea state is examined in terms of the spectral shape and the sea state duration. The study is based on the analysis of numerically simulated gaussian wave records with given target spectra to fulfill the long duration and stationarity jointly required conditions, seldom found in nature. Results indicate a clear dependence of the probability distribution structure and location on the record length and the spectral shape.
