6.2 Marine statistics
Table 6.2 gives an overview of the most important parameters measured stating the
mean and maximum values. The WL is referred to the DNN (Danish Normal Zero)
system.

Two examples of time series of wind speeds at a height of 15 m, wind directions and
significant wave heights are shown in Figure 6.4 and Figure 6.5. The plots show
relatively good agreement between wave height and wind speed.
