It is also believed that this new method is more accurate than the SPM method 

 because it was developed directly from irregular wave conditions rather than 

 being adapted from monochromatic wave overtopping tests. 



30. The new method of computing overtopping rates and overtopping data 

 presented herein was used by Hardy and Crawford (in preparation) to compute 

 the stage frequency curves for interior flooding at Roughans Point.
