WATER WAVES AND SIGNIFICANCE OF WAVE HEIGHT IN THE BAY OF BENGAL (Pages : 34 - 43)

This paper presents a method to estimate the water waves and significant wave height from the observed data. For the estimation of extreme water waves and significant wave height, a precise representation of the data by a certain probability function is highly desirable. Since we do not have any specific technique to meet this requirement, this situation seriously affects the reliability of the current method. It expresses asymptotically the cumulative distribution of the water waves and significant wave height as a combination of an exponential and power of the water waves and significant wave height. The parameters involved are determined numerically by a nonlinear minimization procedure. The results of the analysis show that the data are well represented by the proposed method over the entire range of the cumulative distribution.Download
