    The document defines various terms related to irregular waves and sea states, including wave elevation, apparent wave amplitude, apparent wave height, apparent zero crossing period, apparent period, and zero up crossing wave length. It describes the 10 sea states from calm (Sea State 1) to most adverse (Sea State 9) in terms of wind speed, wave height, and time period. Additional terms defined include fetch, short crested wave, long crested wave, and ocean swell. The document also discusses mean, RMS value, and includes a sample problem calculating wave height occurrences.
