Distribution of maxima
Question 1) What is the largest wave experienced for a given sea sate?
Consider the stochastic variable X and N independent outcomes of X: X
1
,...,X
N
.
Let X
max
be largest of X
1
,...,X
N
,
The statement that X
max
x is equivalent to that X
1
x, X
2
x,...,X
N
x.
By the assumption of independence:
where F
X
is the cumulative distribution function of X.
We recall that the wave heights in a sea state follow the Rayleigh distr.
the highest wave expected in a given sea sate
02
/ ( is the duration of the sea state)

Question 2) How do we use the answer of 1) when the sea state varies??
Consider now a sea state "1" and a sea state "2".
Exactly as before
Pr(Hmax < h during both "1" and "2")
= Pr(Hmax < h during "1")Pr(Hmax < h during "2")

Exercise 12.2
Two sea states, (H
m0
= 4 m, T
m02
= 10 s) and
(H
m0
= 8 m, T
m02
= 12 s), have both lasted for 12
hours. Determine the expected maximum wave
for the heaviest sea state and show that the
probability that a larger wave should have
occurred during the first sea state is vanishingly
small.
