Resumen

This paper presents the results of a study on non-Gaussian characteristic of coastal waves. From the results of the statistical analysis of more than 500 records obtained in the growing stage of the storm, the parameters involved in the non-Gaussian probability distribution which are significant for predicting wave characteristics are clarified, and these parameters are expressed as a function of water depth and sea severity. The limiting sea severity below which the wind-generated coastal waves are considered to be Gaussian is obtained for a given water depth.
