Standard Deviation of Wave Height Calculator

Standard Deviation of Wave Height - Standard Deviation of Wave Height influencing root mean square wave height.
Root-mean-square Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Root-mean-square Wave Height is defined as square root of the average of the squares of all wave heights.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Root-mean-square Wave Height: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_H = 0.463*H_rms --> 0.463*50

Evaluating ... ...

σ_H = 23.15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

23.15 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

23.15 <-- Standard Deviation of Wave Height

Significant Wave Height of Record for Probability of Exceedance

Go Significant Wave Height = Wave Height/(Probability of Exceedance of Wave Height/e^-2)^0.5

Wave Height of Record for Probability of Exceedance

Go Wave Height = Significant Wave Height*(Probability of Exceedance of Wave Height/e^-2)^0.5

Probability of Exceedance of Wave Height

Go Probability of Exceedance of Wave Height = (e^-2)*(Wave Height/Significant Wave Height)^2

Standard Deviation of Wave Height

Go Standard Deviation of Wave Height = 0.463*Root-mean-square Wave Height

Root Mean Square Wave Height

Go Root-mean-square Wave Height = Standard Deviation of Wave Height/0.463
