Symbol: Hmax
Definition: statistical measure of the largest individual wave heights which can be observed or expected in a given sea state for a stated probability of exceedance

Note 1 to entry: Maximum individual wave height is normally calculated from a Rayleigh distribution for wave heights in deep water for an exceedance probability of one per thousand, for which Hmax = 1,86 times the significant wave height.
