Abstract: In the previous papers, after the graphs and method for computing the wave profile,wave velocity and wave length from a given wave period, still water depth and waveheight were presented based on Laitone's cnoidal wave theory7 the measurements of thewave profile, wave velocity and wave length were carried out, and the comparisons ofthese experimental results with the computed values by the cnoidal wave, Stokes waveand small amplitude wave theo'ries were made.This paper proposes the formulas of various wave characteristics of new waves namedas hyperbolic waves, which are derived from the cnoidal wave theory under the con-dition that k=1 and E=1 but K芯a, in which k is the modulus of the Jacobian ellipticfunction, and K and E the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds re-spectively.
