Description

The Weibull distribution of three parameters has been frequently employed in the extreme wave height analysis. The value of shape parameter is pre-required in estimating the location and scale parameters by the least-square fit. Goda (1988) recommands the four values of shape parameter in point of view of the statistical properties of Weibul distribution. This study shows that the values selected by Goda and an additional new value interpret the dynamical properties of wind-waves, and it demonstrates the estimation method based on the extreme value theory for a practical data of wave heights.
