Abstract
The assessment of the wind wave climate is essential for all marine engineering activity including operation and design of marine structures. The design problems are related to wave characteristics and spectral shape during extreme sea states. The planning of operations require information on events of very much higher frequency than the high extremes. Thus it is necessary to have long series of wave data to account for climatic fluctuations when extremes are to be estimated. Operational criteria can be based on much shorter series of data. Instrumental wave data are so far too scarce and cover too short periods of time to describe climatic fluctuations. Therefore one has to rely on hindcasting to assess the wave climate including the high extremes. By such methods it is possible to produce information on wave height and period parameters, assuming that spectral shape is given by some analytical function.
