What is Significant Wave Height?

Significant Wave Height is defined as the average wave height, from trough to crest, of the highest one-third of the waves. Devised by oceanographer Walter Munk during World War II, the significant wave height provides an estimation of 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.
