Preliminary results of spectral and probabilistic analysis of wave and wave-induced loads on the main tower and wave staff of the Christchurch Bay experiments are presented. The results obtained to date show reasonable agreement with linear randomwave solutions and the influence of the non-linear drag element of the loading is apparent. The data needs to be expanded with particular reference to fluid kinematics in the presence of waves and currents, and their effect on wave loading. (Jensen)
