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]).
A hurricane is typically worse. Tropical storm winds range from  39-73 mph and storm surge typically does not exceed 3 feet. A  hurricane has winds of at least 74 mph. winds â¦ as high as 190 mph  have been recorded. Storm surges can exceed 20 feet.   There are exceptions though.
