Learn how scientists assess the reliability of ocean wave spectra in extreme seas and improve design decisions.
The Statistical Anatomy of Ocean Wave Spectra examines how spectral estimates vary in real storms. Using Hurricane Carla data, the book shows how departures from linear theory affect confidence in wave energy measurements and derived results.
Through practical comparisons of spectral computation methods, it reveals how different approaches influence the reliability of directional and energy estimates. The work combines empirical findings with methods for evaluating uncertainty in spectral density and related quantities.
- Empirical analysis of wave spectra from 12 intervals of Hurricane Carla data in deep Gulf of Mexico waters.
- Comparison of covariance-based spectral computation and fast Fourier transform (FFT) approaches.
- Exploration of probability intervals, including chi-squared references, and simulation-based confidence limits.
- Discussion of how nonlinear effects in hurricane waves alter spectral variability and interpretation.
Ideal for readers who design coastal structures or study wave statistics, this edition helps professionals understand the limits and methods for assessing spectral reliability.
