Despite its great theoretical and practical importance, the statistical distribution of crest heights has remained poorly known. The uncertainties are due to difficulties both with the theory, where nonlinear effects must be accurately modeled, and with measurements, where different sensors appear to give different results. In response to this uncertainty, the Wave Crest Sensor Intercomparison Study (WACSIS) was formed as a Joint Industry Project in order to provide data for comparing the response of wave sensors and for comparing theories of crest height distributions with the measurements. The key to the WACSIS experiment was to place all of the popular sensors on the same platform located where they were likely to experience large waves in one season.... |
