The term microcomputer is generally synonymous with personal computer (PC) , or a computer that depends on a microprocessor. Microcomputers are designed to be used by individuals, whether in the form of PCs, workstations or notebook computers.
This model assumes that waves vary in a regular way around the average (so-called 'significant') wave height. In a storm sea with a significant wave height of 12 metres (39.4 ft), the model suggests there will hardly ever be a wave higher than 15 metres (49.2 ft). One of 30 metres (98.4 ft) could indeed happen â but only once in ten thousand years (of wave height of 12 metres [39.4 ft]).
The average size (diameter) of the eye of a hurricane is 30 km (18.5 mi). The eye of the hurricane, a region of calm and light winds at the center of the storm, typically forms when the windspeeds reach 138 km/hr or 85 mph. The eye can be as small as a few km in diameter, or as large as 320 km in diameter (the diameter of Typhoon Carmen).
