Significant Wave Height given Wave Period for North Sea Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Significant Wave Height = (Wave Period for North Sea/3.94)^(1/0.376)
H_s = (T_NS/3.94)^(1/0.376)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Significant Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Significant Wave Height is the average height of the highest one-third of waves in a given sea state, often used to describe sea conditions, measured in meters.
Wave Period for North Sea - (Measured in Second) - Wave Period for North Sea is the time interval between successive wave crests, influenced by wind and weather conditions.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Period for North Sea: 18.93 Second --> 18.93 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_s = (T_NS/3.94)^(1/0.376) --> (18.93/3.94)^(1/0.376)

Evaluating ... ...

H_s = 64.9995900225454

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

64.9995900225454 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

64.9995900225454 ≈ 64.99959 Meter <-- Significant Wave Height
