Abstract

In this study, the long term statistics is investigated to forecast the significant wave height (Hs) and wave period (Ts) for planned overpass bridge in Lapta coastal region in North Cyprus. The monthly recorded wind data retrieved from two different stations namely Alsancak and Esentepe. The long-term wave climate of the region are studied utilizing the wave heights, wave periods and wave directions, estimated from the wind data and fetch lengths by CERC (1984) method. The log-normal probability distribution is used to represent the durations of exceedances for the significant wave heights. The extreme wave heights are calculated for 5-10-25-100 years return period and the results are presented in tables. The outputs of this paper are useful to understand the distribution of extreme waves in Lapta region.
