Comprehensive Wind and Wave Statistics and Extreme Values for Design and Analysis of Marine Structures in the Adriatic Sea

Wind and waves present the main causes of environmental loading on seagoing ships offshore structures. Thus, its detailed understanding can improve design maintenance these wave statistical models are developed based WorldWaves database for Adriatic Sea: entire Sea as a whole, divided into three regions 39 uniformly spaced locations across Adriatic. Model parameters fitted presented each case, following conditional modelling approach, i.e., marginal distribution significant height peak period wind speed. Extreme heights were evaluated 20-, 50- 100-year return periods. The data provide consistent comprehensive description metocean (wind wave) climate in that serve input almost all kind analyses
