Guedes Soares,C and Henriques, A.C. (1998), “Fitting a Double-Peak Spectral Model to Measured Wave Spectra", Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE’98), Guedes Soares, C. (Eds.), ASME, New York, Vol. II, Paper OMAE 98-1491

A method is proposed to fit the double peak spectral model of Guedes Soares (1984) to measured data. The approach is based on the spectral frequencies of each of the two component wave systems and it was applied to a significant sample of spectra from Figueira da Foz showing its good performance. This procedure solved the difficulty of the previously proposed method, which was based on the mean period of the sea state, and had difficulty of always matching the peak frequencies of the measured spectra.
