最近有争议如何以及瑞利分布匹配观测到的波高分布。这一争论主要源于基于有效波高不同定义的比较。一旦使用一致的定义，所有可用的数据都支持这样的结论，即瑞利分布高估了记录中较高波的高度。对墨西哥湾116小时飓风产生的波浪的分析允许将数据经验拟合为威布尔分布。从经验分布发展的统计数据包括预测1000年的最高波仅为瑞利分布预测的高度的0.907倍。
There has been recent controversy over how well the Rayleigh distribution matches the observed distribution of wave heights. Most of this controversy stems from comparisons based on different definitions of the significant wave height. Once consistent definitions are used, all available data support the conclusion that the Rayleigh distribution overpredicts the heights of the higher waves in a record. Analysis of 116 hours of hurricane‐generated waves in the Gulf of Mexico permitted the empirical fitting of the data to a Weibull distribution. Statistics developed from the empirical distribution include the prediction that the highest wave in 1000 is only 0.907 times the height predicted by the Rayleigh distribution.
