Wave Period for North Sea Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Period in North Sea = 3.94*Significant Wave Height^0.376
P_n = 3.94*H_s^0.376
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Period in North Sea - Wave Period in North Sea can vary widely depending on the weather conditions and the time of year.
Significant Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Significant Wave Height is the mean wave height of the highest one-third of the waves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Significant Wave Height: 65 Meter --> 65 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_n = 3.94*H_s^0.376 --> 3.94*65^0.376

Evaluating ... ...

P_n = 18.9300448938614

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.9300448938614 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.9300448938614 ≈ 18.93004 <-- Wave Period in North Sea

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.

How to Calculate Wave Period for North Sea?

Wave Period for North Sea calculator uses Wave Period in North Sea = 3.94*Significant Wave Height^0.376 to calculate the Wave Period in North Sea, The Wave Period for North Sea formula is defined as time it takes for two successive crests (one wavelength) to pass specified point. Wave Period in North Sea is denoted by P_n symbol.

How to calculate Wave Period for North Sea using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wave Period for North Sea, enter Significant Wave Height (H_s) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wave Period for North Sea calculation can be explained with given input values -> 18.93004 = 3.94*65^0.376.
