Calculation of the Variances of νφ, νη. νθ

A4.1. Variance of the νφ and νη, variables

From relationship [3.50] in section 3.3.2 of Chapter 3 we know that the azimuth angle φi of the waves with random trials is linked to the νφ variable by the following expression:

The computation of the pdf established in [3.52] enables us to formulate the sought after variance, i.e.:

[A4.2] images

is the equation in which D is the variation domain of νø, i.e. the interval [-1 +1]. Integral [A4.2] can then take the detailed form below:

[A4.3] images

By using expression [A4.1], we carry out the change of variable leading to integral [A4.4]:

Analytical solution of this integral allocate the value ½ to the variance:

Regarding υη, a similar calculation leads to the determination of the integral [A4.6]:

A4.2. Variance of the υθ variable

We recall that the definition of the υθ variable ...
