| Abstract: | A new method for the geographical transposition of extreme wave height is proposed. It extends the use of the spread parameter (Goda 2002, 2004) in order to determine the value of the extreme significant wave height with a long term return period at a sea area where only a few years of wave records are available. The procedure has been verified at the Italian and Spanish sea areas. The application has considered the buoys of the Italian National Sea Wave measurement Network (RON) and of the Calabria Regional Network. In particular, the value of the significant wave height with 50 years return period has been determined offshore Ancona (January 1999-December 2003), along the Adriatic coastline, and at the Calabria Regional buoys of Capo Spartivento and Roccella Ionica (since 2003). | |
