Return Period of a Sea Storm with at Least Two Waves Higher than a Fixed Threshold

Practical applications in ocean engineering require the long-term analysis for prediction of extreme waves, that identify design conditions. If extreme individual waves are investigated, we need to combine long-term statistical analysis of ocean waves with short-term statistics. The former considers...
