Wave Height in Water Wave Mechanics Formulas
Wave Height is the vertical distance between the trough (lowest point) and the crest (highest point) of a wave. The average height of the highest third of the waves in a given wave dataset. And is denoted by H. Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wave Height is always negative.

FAQ
What is the Wave Height?
Wave Height is the vertical distance between the trough (lowest point) and the crest (highest point) of a wave. The average height of the highest third of the waves in a given wave dataset. Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Wave Height is always negative.
Can the Wave Height be negative?
Yes, the Wave Height, measured in Length can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Wave Height?
Wave Height is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Wave Height can be measured.
