Wave Height –

The wave height is the vertical distance between the wave crest and the wave trough.

Wave Height, Significant

– The significant wave height is the statistical average of the largest one-third of the wave heights in a given time series, typically 17 to 20 minutes.

Wave Height, Maximum

– The maximum wave height is the statistical largest wave height in a given time series.

Wavelength

– The wavelength is the horizontal distance representing the length of wave. This distance is typically measured from wave crest to wave crest.
