The distribution of the significant wave height is shown in Figure 6.6, the same figure<br />

also shows the Log Normal distribution with parameters a1 = 0.35 and a2 = 0.55. The<br />

distribution is based on more than 14,000 hours of d<strong>at</strong>a recorded from July 1999 to<br />

November 2002.<br />
