The statistical distribution of the individual wave heights and periods in an ocean wave record and their joint distribution are investigated. Theoretical distribution functions based on a narrow band spectrum are compared with recorded wave data. Ocean waves recorded during the September 1961 storm in the North Atlantic are used for this purpose. The data are found to correlate reasonably well with the theoretical distribution curves.
