N2 - The zero-crossing characteristics of wave trains, generated by inverse Fourier-transformation from wave spectra, depend on spectral shape, frequency spacing of the components (length of the time-series) and phase angles. The distribution of the wave heights is close to the Rayleigh distribution. In detail, variations in the distributions of high waves and of the highest waves occur. These variations increase with decreasing number of waves. To highlight the consequences for model investigations, wave trains with different numbers of waves (30 to 1000) were generated and analysed with respect to the highest wave in the wave train and for the example of mean overtopping rates at a vertical wall.
