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]).
Scientist Confirm the Largest Wave Ever Recorded. A six-story building rising and falling in the ocean. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has announced that in 2013, a buoy detected the the highest significant wave height in recorded history. At a little over 62 feet, the North Atlantic wave was the size of a six-story building.
