Abstract
Within the context of wave energy conversion, this
paper investigates the practice of using wave (frequency)
spectra to characterise wind waves. In particular, this
paper looks at the major shortfall of the wave spectrum
- its lack of information provision on the temporal variability
of the wave activity. Finally, the issue of different
spectral shapes with the same seaway summary statistics
(i.e. Hs, the significant wave height, and Tz, the mean
zero crossing wave period) is investigated. Measured
wave data recorded off theWest Coast of Ireland provides
the basis for this analysis, with the wavelet transform
providing the primary analysis tool.
