1 100-year and 10,000-year Extreme Significant Wave Heights How Sure Can We Be of These Figures? Rod Rainey, Atkins Oil & Gas Jeremy Colman, Independent Consultant

3 Wave breaking: M/T Prestige A Statoil photograph
4 Wave Crest Elevations Predicting extreme crest elevations is a two-stage process: 1. Find extreme values of significant (4xRMS) wave height, from hindcast databases produced by calibrated meteorological computer models, which cover the last 60 years. These are in the public domain the area West of Shetland is pertinent, as the stormiest in the oil industry. 2. Combine with the probability distribution of wave crest elevations, for given significant wave height. This is the Rayleigh distribution on linear theory, and the Forristall distribution on Stokes 2 nd order theory, which is the one currently used by the oil industry.
5 Non-Exceedance Probability D 2 Some evidence of rogue waves 1 0 higher than Forristall distribution (Sterndorff et al. C max / HOMAE s 2000) Field Measurements Gumbel fit of Measurements C max / H s
6 Recent example with C/H s = 1.6

11 Probability Empirical Distribution Function probability smallest ann. max Hs (metres)
12 The Extremal Types Theorem
13 Bayesian method for estimating parameters
14 Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
15 Options for priors
16 Our initial choice of priors
17 P (m u ) P (s i g m a ) mu sample: sigma sample: mu sigma
18 P (e ta ) eta sample:
19 Maximum Hs Return levels: 1 to 1000 years years
20
21 P (e ta ) eta sample: eta
22 Maximum Hs Return levels to yrs: eta -ve years
23 Can we do any better? Use information on boundedness of Hs Use more of the data Seasonality Thresholds Clusters
24 Can we extend the analysis to individual wave heights rather than Hs? Just give us the probability distribution for individual waves, given Hs BUGS will do the rest Extracts the maximum possible information from The data Your prior knowledge Expressed as probability distributions of the parameters of interest.
