Abstract: In this paper, the wave crest distribution using wave data from model tests at Marintek will be compared with a second order wave crest distribution. The higher than second order effects observed in the model tests will be discussed. Comparison to full-scale field measurements will be made. Differences between wave crests generated in a model basin compared to what we observe in the ocean will be addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
