TLDR
In this article, the probability density function for half-cycle excursions for an arbitrarily given wave spectrum is developed based on the Gaussian assumption and the results of numerical computations carried out using wave data obtained during hurricane Camille are presented.About:

Joint distributions of wave height and period: A critical comparison
Meric Srokosz,Peter Challenor +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three theoretical joint distributions of wave height and period are compared with data, and the effect of high frequency cut-off on the distribution of wave length and period is considered.

The Statistical Distribution of the Maxima of a Random Function
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the statistical distribution of the maximum values of a random function which is the sum of an infinite number of sine waves in random phase and applied it to sea waves and to the pitching and rolling motion of a ship.

On prediction of extreme values
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the prediction of the extreme values of a stationary random process having an arbitrary bandwidth spectrum and derived formulas to predict extreme values for a given number of observations and time by applying order statistics.
Non-gaussian characteristics of coastal waves
Michel K. Ochi,Wei-Chi Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a study on non-Gaussian characteristic of coastal waves and the parameters involved in the nonGaussian probability distribution which are significant for predicting wave characteristics are clarified, and these parameters are expressed as a function of water depth and sea severity.
A Study of Extreme Waves and Their Effects on Ship Structure.
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of heavy-weather damage information from Coast Guard records was conducted to evaluate general trends of heavy weather damage to ships, and a preponderance of damage is attributed to local wave loadings.
