      Fatigue life prediction for a vessel sailing the North Atlantic route 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I. (2007)
      A method for calculating the wave load induced fatigue damage accumulated by a vessel sailing along the North Atlantic route (NAr) is presented. This method is based on the Palmgren-Miner additive rule and the rainflow ...

      How fast are the two-dimensional gaussian waves? 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Podgórski, K.; Rychlik, I. (2002)
      For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive the intensity distributions of appropriately defined velocities of crossing contours. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. ...

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I. (2006)
      The probability distribution of the height of global maximum for a Gaussian random field evolving in time is studied. In particular, the effect of spreading is studied and the role of the wave kinematics is discussed. It ...

      Modelling precipitation in Sweden using multiple step markov chains and a composite model 

      Lennartsson, J.; Baxevani, Anastassia; Chen, D. (2008)
      In this paper, we propose a new method for modelling precipitation in Sweden. We consider a chain dependent stochastic model that consists of a component that models the probability of occurrence of precipitation at a ...

      Modelling significant wave height in the North Atlantic 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I.; Wilson, R. J. (2003)
      The surface of the ocean, and so such quantities as the significant wave height, can be thought of as a random surface in space which develops over time. In this paper, we explore certain types of random fields (in space ...

      A new method for modelling the space variability of significant wave height 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I.; Wilson, R. J. (2005)
      Significant wave height, Hs, is a measure of the variability of the ocean surface and is defined to be four times the standard deviation of the height of the ocean surface. In this paper, we present a methodology for ...

      Note on the distribution of extreme wave crests 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Hagberg, O.; Rychlik, I. (2005)
      The sea elevation at a fixed point is modelled by means of a second order model, which is a smooth algebraic function of a vector valued Gaussian process. Asymptotic methods, presented first in [1], are used to estimate ...

      Prediction of catastrophes in space over time 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Wilson, Richard (2018)
      Predicting rare events, such as high level up-crossings, for spatio-temporal processes plays an important role in the analysis of the occurrence and impact of potential catastrophes in, for example, environmental settings. ...

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Podgórski, K. (2017)
      We study the distribution of phases and amplitudes for the spectral representation of weighted moving averages of a general noise measure. The simple independent structure, known for the Gaussian case, and involving Rayleigh ...

      Relation between velocities and global maximum for Gaussian seas 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I. (2004)
      We study the probability distribution of the height of global maximum for a Gaussian random field evolving in time. Particularly, we discuss the role of the wave kinematics. It is observed that taking into account time ...

      Sample path asymmetries in non-gaussian random processes 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Podgórski, K.; Wegener, J. (2014)
      We tackle an important although rarely addressed question of accounting for a variety of asymmetries frequently observed in stochastic temporal/spatial records. First, we review some measures intending to capture such ...

      Series decomposition of fractional Brownian motion and its Lamperti transform 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Podgórski, K. (2009)
      The Lamperti transformation of a self-similar process is a stationary process. In particular, the fractional Brownian motion transforms to the second order stationary Gaussian process. This process is represented as a ...
