wave-height

In fluid dynamics, the wave height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighbouring trough. Wave height is a term used by mariners, as well as in coastal, ocean and naval engineering.

(a) The statistical distribution of the heights of sea waves. (b) The distribution of wave heights and periods in ocean waves
