How to Evaluate Maximum Wave Period?

Maximum Wave Period evaluator uses Maximum Wave Period = Coefficient Eckman*Mean Wave Period to evaluate the Maximum Wave Period, The Maximum Wave Period formula is defined as the wave period associated with the most energetic waves in the total wave spectrum at a specific point. Wave regimes that are dominated by wind waves tend to have smaller peak wave periods, and regimes that are dominated by swell tend to have larger peak wave periods. Maximum Wave Period is denoted by Tmax symbol.

How to evaluate Maximum Wave Period using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Maximum Wave Period, enter Coefficient Eckman (Δ) & Mean Wave Period (T') and hit the calculate button.
