Stochastic models for individual Lagrange sea waves

Abstract

In Gaussian waves the random variation of individual waves can be
described by means of a Slepian model. In the stochastic Lagrange
model two Gaussian processes are  involved, for the vertical and
horizontal movements of individual water particles.  The two processes
are generated by the same Gaussian spectral process, and their
cross-correlation properties define all statistical distributions in
the first order Lagrange model.  In particular, the behaviour of
individual waves can be analysed by means of two Slepian models. I
will present the technique and illustrate it by examples from
simulated first order Lagrange waves.
