Abstract

The successive wave heights are modelled with a first order autoregressive process with a nonzero first lag autocorrelation. Using an algorithm which preserves the mean, standard deviation and skewness coefficient, the wave heights are generated with a Rayleigh probability density distribution law. The results of this simulation show excellent agreement with the theoretical distribution. An application of simulated results on a run of waves statistics is shown, and again, these results compare favourably with observational data.
