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]).
