A conditional probability density function of wave period,assuming wave height,is derived on the basis of normally distributed waves.Comparison between the density function and the data measured in a wind-wave tank shows a favorable agreement for waves of narrow-banded spectrum.Three conditional characteristic periods are defined and the relationships between them and the average period are derived from the density function.Interms of these relationships,some problems concerning ocean engineering are explained and discussed.
