The maximum wave height can be determined from a wave scatter diagram by following the next steps
STEP 1: Wave scatter diagram input

|
STEP 2: Generation of a probability distribution function from the wave scatter diagram |
STEP 3: Fitting a Weibull distribution function by choosing the fitting parameters a, b and c
(Weibull distribution function)
 |
STEP 4: Calculate the 100 year maximum significant wave height Hs by equaling the Weibull distribution function with the chance of a three our storm in a hundred year

|
STEP 5: Calculate the 100 year maximum wave height Hmax

|
Back to the wave parameters.
