Incident Wave Height in Harbor Hydrodynamics Formulas

Incident Wave Height is obtained as the arithmetic mean of the wave heights measured by two gauges separated by a quarter of a wavelength [length]. And is denoted by H_i. Incident Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Incident Wave Height is always positive.
