Figure 14

Observed wave profiles η/ηmax (thick solid) and mean sea levels (MSL) (thick dashed) versus t/Tp for (first panel from the left) Doris and Feb 2015, and (following panels from left to right) El Faro, Andrea, Draupner and Killard simulated waves (thin solid) and MSL (thick dashed). Actual measurements (thick solid) and MSLs (thick solid) are also shown for Andrea, Draupner and Killard. Note that the Killard MSL is insignificant and the Andrea MSL is not available. ηmax is the maximum crest height and Tp is the dominant wave period (see Table 1 and Methods section for definitions).
