Irregular Wave Crest Elevations. Figure 16 presents several irregular wave records illustrating various amounts of nonlinearity. Records A and B have crests which are slightly larger than half of their zero up-crossing wave heights; record C has crest elevations which are a large fraction of wave height. Table 6, which is a compilation of selected wave record results, indicates the elevation of maximum crests for various water depth, significant wave height, and period of peak energy density 2 - 2 - d/glp-^ = Hs/glp"^ = Hs/d = d/gTp2 = Hs/gTp - Hc/d = B.
