Abstract
The probabilistic structure of the bivariate distribution of sea wave heigh ts and periods in sea states with two-peaked spectra is examined by means a numerically; simulated wave records. Two-peaked sea states are classified in nine representative groups, in terms of two dimensionless parameters. Th e asymmetric and bimodal nature of the distribution is examined for each on e of these two parameters.
