Climatology identifies extreme wave heights in the Australian tropics, highlighting cyclone impact on wave behavior.
The procedure devised by Spillane and Dexter (1976) for determining long-term extreme significant wave heights generated by tropical cyclones in the Australian region has been applied at a number of off-shore (deep water) points to obtain a climatology of extreme wave heights, as a function' of return period, for this region. Basic input data consist of a Gumbel analysis of annual maximum wind gusts in the tropics, extrapolated to over the sea, cyclone occurrence frequencies, and any geographical fetch restrictions which might be applicable at particular points.
