What is Significant wave height?

Significant wave height is defined as the average wave height, from trough to crest, of the highest one-third of the waves. Devised by oceanographer Walter Munk during World War II, the significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea.
