Abstract
This paper presents results from collaborative research on Violent Overtopping of Waves at Seawalls (VOWS) describing overtopping performance and processes at steep seawalls. VOWS results have been used to develop / improve prediction methods for mean overtopping discharges, wave-by-wave overtopping volumes, and overtopping throw velocities. This paper discusses variabilities and uncertainties inherent in the overtopping processes, and presents example data on uncertainties to be used in probabilistic design or hazard evaluations. The dependency of these parameter uncertainties upon the proportion of wave overtopping waves is highlighted.
