DERIVATION OF A GENERALIZED FUNCTION OF THE WAVE HEIGHT DISTRIBUTION ON THE SURFACE OF A HEAVY LIQUID,

Abstract

The author discusses the adequacy of visual, semi -instrumental, and instrumental methods for observing wind wave elements. This is followed by an examination of the statistical characteristics of the height and period deep sea waves obtained by instrumental observations and of the statistical characteristics of wind-induced waves obtained theoretically.
