Abstract
The identification of wave groups in wave records is sought in terms of the classical linear analysis techniques in the frequency and time domains. Unwrapping and detrending of the phase spectrum identifies apparent order where none is assumed in the Gaussian random wave model. Similarly unexpected order is observed in the tail of the correlogram of both the wave record and the Rice envelope function. These aspects are strongly suggestive of wave grouping.
