Abstract
Calibration coefficients incorporated in the modified Weibull distribution are more effective for maximum wave height simulation. The
parametric relations are derived there from to estimate various wave height statistics including extreme wave heights. The characteristic function
of the Weibull distribution is derived. The Weibull distribution is suggested for the newly defined significant wave height simulation by the
method of characteristic function. The statistical tools suggested and developed here for predicting the required wave height statistics are validated
against the wave data (both deep and shallow) of eastern Arabian Sea comprising rough monsoon conditions also, giving reasonable accuracy.
