Sentence examples for minimum wave height from inspiring English sources
Since the Pignatelli et al. (2009) hydrodynamic equations are built around the c-axis value, this approximation induce an evident overestimation of the minimum wave height able to detach and scatter inland the boulders.
Finally, in order to apply the Pignatelli et al. (2009) method for calculating the minimum wave height of tsunami or sea storm able to move the boulders and the inland penetration limit, it is important to know in detail the coastal topography especially in the coastal sector where the largest boulders are recognised.
The pulse wave and blood pressure were observed, and pulse wave interval, wave height and maximum and minimum blood pressures were measured.
If a boulder is detached from cliff edge (joint bounded scenario), the height of the water column flooding can be obtained from this relation: (2)In fact, at the edge of the cliff, where the boulders initially were placed, the tsunami height must be not smaller than the minimum wave able to move the biggest boulder.
Typically, the joint distribution of significant wave height and wave period is needed as a minimum, but other environmental parameters such as wind, current, surges and tides might also be relevant.
Other estimates put the wave height at 10 metres.
Wave height is defined as the distance from the crest of one wave to the trough of the next; significant wave height means the average of the highest one-third of waves measured by an instrument.
generated incident wave height [m].
nominal incident wave height [m].
Statistical wave height distributions are used to transform the significant wave height to lower exceedance wave heights.
