Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wave Height Distributions in Multiple-Peaked Seas
6. None of the above tests specifically address the problem of height distributions under conditions where an energy spectrum is distinctly multi modal. A simple example of such a condition occurs where two narrow-band processes coexist but at well-separated frequencies. In nature, such a condition can arise where a local, wind-driven sea is generated in the presence of low-frequency swell. In general, one would not expect wave heights from this scenario necessarily to be Rayleigh distributed because the.
