Module contents

nautical.sea_state.sea_state(wvht: float, units: DistanceUnits = DistanceUnits.METERS)

If the provided wave height is not in meters, convert the wave height to meters and determine the minimum seastate that meets the requirements.

The following information contains all of the sea state upper limits where the value is in meters: sea state 0 = [0, 0] sea state 1 = (0, 0.1] sea state 2 = (0.1, 0.5] sea state 3 = (0.5, 1.25] sea state 4 = (1.25, 2.5] sea state 5 = (2.5, 4.0] sea state 6 = (4.0, 6.0] sea state 7 = (6.0, 9.0] sea state 8 = (9.0, 14.0] sea state 9 = (14.0, inf]

Parameters

• wvht – current height of the waves

• units – units of the wvht variable (defualt DistanceUnits.METERS)

Returns

the seastate (int) that the wae height falls in.
