The book begins by describing the essential elements of wind-generated random seas from the stochastic point of view. Following chapters introduce spectral analysis techniques, probabilistic predictions of wave amplitudes, wave height and periodicity. Sea severity, extreme sea state, and special wave events are also discussed. Finally the stochastic properties of non-Gaussian waves are presented.
