This paper presents a new expression to estimate the return period of a sea storm where the run-up exceeds a fixed threshold and to evaluate the mean persistence. The run-up is an aleatory phenomenon linked to significant wave heights of sea states verified during sea storms in different locations, therefore its estimate can be dealt with using a method of probability. Using the wave data of the Italian wave metric net and of the United Kingdom met office we obtained the run-up in a location along the Jonian Sea (Italy).

Abstract
This paper presents a new expression to estimate the return period of a sea storm where the run-up exceeds a fixed threshold and to evaluate the mean persistence. The run-up is an aleatory phenomenon linked to significant wave heights of sea states verified during sea storms in different locations, therefore its estimate can be dealt with using a method of probability. Using the wave data of the Italian wave metric net and of the United Kingdom met office we obtained the run-up in a location along the Jonian Sea (Italy).File in questo prodotto:
