As a consequence, the use of data with a low time resolution (such as a 3 h sampling, for instance) causes a considerable undervaluation of the extreme SWH values for a given return time RT. In this paper an example of such a bias is provided, and a method is suggested to estimate it on a regional basis. Results may help to improve the use of historical wave meters data which were often collected with a low time resolution, and may also provide a tool to improve the application of Numerical Meteo-Wave models to the evaluation of extremes.}, number={35}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Dentale, Fabio and Reale, Ferdinando and D’Alessandro, Felice and Damiani, Leonardo and Di Leo, Angela and Pugliese Carratelli, Eugenio and Tomasicchio, Giuseppe Roberto}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={waves.33} }
