wavespectra.construct.frequency.pierson_moskowitz(freq, fp, alpha=0.0081, hs=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Pierson and Moskowitz spectrum for fully developed seas (Pierson and Moskowitz, 1964).

Parameters:
  • freq (-) – Frequency array (Hz).

  • fp (-) – Peak wave frequency (Hz).

  • alpha (-) – Phillip’s fetch-dependent scaling coefficient.

  • hs (-) – Significant wave height (m), if provided the spectra are scaled so that \(4\sqrt{m_0} = hs\).

Returns:

Pierson-Moskowitz frequency spectrum E(f) (m2s).

Return type:

  • efth (SpecArray)

Note

  • If hs is provided the spectra are scaled so that \(4\sqrt{m_0} = hs\) and the scaling parameter alpha becomes irrelevant.

  • If two or more input args other than freq are DataArrays, they must share the same coordinates.
