Extreme Value Analysis of Wave Heights
نویسندگان
چکیده
University of Cantabria Avenida de los Castros s/n, 39005, Santander, Spain This paper discusses the most common problems associated with the determination of design wave heights. It analyzes two common methods used In fitting wave data and shows some of the stability or inconsistency prcAlems associated with commonly used distributions. Some methods to obtain confidence intervals, detecting of outliers and treatment of missing data are given.

In this article, the accuracy of empirical and numerical methods in prediction of wind wave characteristics in AmirAbad and Bushehr Ports have been studied, evaluated and compared. First, the wave characteristics have been calculated using Babolsar and Bushehr synoptic stations and employing empirical methods including SMB, SPM and CEM. Moreover the errors of empirical methods have been determi...
متن کاملExtreme Waves and Ship Design
Recent research has demonstrated that extreme waves, waves with crest to trough heights of 20 to 30 meters, occur more frequently than previously thought. Also, over the past several decades, a surprising number of large commercial vessels have been lost in incidents involving extreme waves. Many of the victims were bulk carriers. Current design criteria generally consider significant wave heig...
متن کاملExtreme waves under Hurricane Ivan.
Hurricane Ivan, a category 4 storm, passed directly over six wave-tide gauges deployed by the Naval Research Laboratory on the outer continental shelf in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Waves were observed with significant wave heights reaching 17.9 meters and maximum crest-to-trough individual wave heights of 27.7 meters (91 feet). Analysis suggests that significant wave heights likely surpas...

The application of Extreme value analysis method in heat wave hazard climatology; case study in Mid-Southern Iran Abstract Greenhouse warming poses the main cause of atmospheric hazards’ exacerbation and emergence in recent years. Earth planet has been witnessing frequent and severe natural hazards from the distant past; however, global warming has strongly influenced the occurrence of some a...
متن کاملNorth Atlantic storm driving of extreme wave heights in the North Sea
The relationship between storms and extreme ocean waves in the North Sea is assessed using a long-period wave data set and storms identified in the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim). An ensemble sensitivity analysis is used to provide information on the spatial and temporal forcing from mean sea-level pressure and surface wind associated with extreme ocean wave height responses. Extreme o...
