Stefanakos, C. N., Athanassoulis, G.A. and Barstow, S.F. (2006). Time series modeling of significant wave height in multiple scales, combining various sources of data. Journal of Geophysical Research 111: doi: 10.1029/2005JC003020. issn: 0148-0227.

In the present paper, a composite stochastic model is formulated and validated, resolving the state-by-state, seasonal and interannual variabilities of HS. The model is a combination of two cyclostationary random processes modeling the variability of mean monthly values and mean monthly standard deviations, respectively, and of a stationary random process modeling the residual, state-by-state, variability. In this way, the time series of significant wave height is given the structure of a multiple-scale composite stochastic process. The present model is a generalization of the nonstationary stochastic modeling introduced by the authors in previous works.
