A truncated, translated Weibull distribution for shallow water sea states

Reliable probabilistic information of the long-term ocean wave climate is important in many coastal and engineering applications such as design marine structures. There therefore a need to establish accurate models for distribution relevant metocean variables. One most parameters significant height, which measure severity sea state, loads are typically described terms this other Hence, lot effort has been put on proper modelling height. However, probability distributions proposed model height have mostly focused deep water conditions less efforts shallow conditions. This paper proposes truncated, translated Weibull long-time waters demonstrates that fit data quite well. In particular, describes shallow-water better than commonly used 3-parameter distribution, often preferred locations. • A proposed. case study usefulness distribution.
