Abstract

Wave records obtained from the pressure recorder for measuring sea waves, installed off Mangalore have been analysed and wave parameters like period, height etc. have been obtained for the period June 1968 to May 1969. Frequency distribution of wave heights and periods during various months have been drawn. Energy spectra obtained from the data are presented. From the study of the distributions of wave parameters it has been found that period follows normal distribution and the height follows Rayleigh distribution. The energy spectra .are composite In nature giving the average condition for a month when the record for the whole month 18 considered as a single record.
