This book presents a rigorous analysis of wave energy spectral estimates using statistical methods, based on a study of twelve distinct intervals of wave data gathered during Hurricane Carla in 1961. Through computation of FFT spectral lines and a moving average of these lines, the author examines the statistical variability of the spectral estimates. The empirical probability law for symmetrically normed residuals, derived from these estimates, is then compared to the theoretical Chi-squared probability law, revealing a close correspondence despite the non-Gaussian nature of the hurricane waves. Notably, the author demonstrates that the FFT spectral lines can be considered asymptotically normally distributed and independent, even when the underlying water level elevations are non-Gaussian. Thus, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the statistical properties of wave spectra and their implications for directional spectrum reliability, offering valuable insights for engineers and scientists working in coastal engineering or related fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
