and swl associated with this portion of the data is 100 percent gain and +8.0 

 swl, the design condition. The curve appeared to be more controlled by data 

 generated by low wave heights (i.e., gains) produced at the wave paddle. Use 

 of the RFM curve to predict the peak storm overtopping rates would produce a 

 lower value than the actual model study data for a particular condition. This 

 occurrence could be a function of phenomena such as scaling effect, wave/tank
