Abstract English The stochastic Lagrange wave model is a realistic alternative to the Gaussian linear wave model, which has been successfully used in ocean engineering for more than half a century. This paper presents the slope distributions and other characteristic distributions at level crossings <br> for asymmetric Lagrange time waves, i.e. what can be observed at a fixed measuring station, thereby extending results previously given for space waves. The distributions are given as expectations in a multivariate normal distribution, and they have to be evaluated by simulation or numerical integration. Interesting characteristic variables are: slope in time, slope in space, and vertical particle velocity when the waves are observed close to instances when the water level crosses a predetermined level. <br> The theory has been made possible by recent generalizations of <br> Rice&#39;s formula for the expected number of marked crossings in random <br> fields.
