Abstract
A new approach for estimating wave kinematics in deep water irregular waves is presented. The development of the approach has been based on results from measurements of regular water wave kinematics 1 and represents and extension of a regular wave theory developed by Gudmestad and Connor. 2 The approach is suggested to improve the description of irregular waves and thus the reliability of irregular wave time domain analysis of forces and response of deep water offshore structures as nonlinearities and dynamic effects in irregular sea states are treated in a consistent manner. An application is presented in a separate paper. 3 The suggested approach should be documented through careful measurements of irregular water wave kinematics.
