Sommario

Il profilo caratteristico delle onde di mare con le creste più alte, viene previsto at traverso l'analisi del modello gaussiano di uno stato di mare e quindi confrontato con dati di misurazioni effettuate nel Golfo del Messico.

Summary

Mean shape characteristics of ocean waves with high crests are predicted through analysis of the gaussian model of a sea state and then tested against data.
