What is Significant Wave Height ?

Significant Wave Height is the average wave height of the highest one-third of the waves, from trough to crest. Devised by oceanographer Walter Munk during World War II, the significant wave height estimates wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea.

What is Wave Number?

Wave Number is the spatial frequency of a wave in a given medium, typically measured in reciprocal units of distance, such as radians per meter or cycles per meter.
