...Herein, we first briefly review and extend Boccotti’s linear quasi-deterministic theory (Boccotti 1989, 2000) to second-order random waves, and derive a new stochastic representation of wave groups for describing the statistical structure of the sea surface around a large crest....

...Boccotti (cf. Boccotti 2000) showed that as h/σ → ∞ the large crest occurs when a well-defined wave group ζ1,c passes through x0....

...As h/σ → ∞, the surface profile around a large crest tends to assume the shape given by ηdet (Lindgren 1972; Boccotti 2000)....

...Such deviations can be related to the unknown current speed profile U(z) using the modified dispersion relation (see, for example, Phillips, 1977; Boccotti, 2000) (271/-...
