abstract={A comprehensive numerical investigation of ocean wave power characteristics based on the JONSWAP spectrum was carried out using MATLAB simulations. The study evaluates spectral moments, characteristic wave periods, and depth-dependent energy transmission for different peak enhancement factor (¦Ã) under both deep and finite water conditions. In addition to irregular sea states represented by the JONSWAP spectrum, regular (monochromatic) wave components were also analyzed to compare their power propagation behavior. Both spectral integration and the approximate formula were implemented to estimate the wave power across a wide range of depths. The computed results demonstrate that increasing ¦Ã leads to a narrower and more energetic spectrum, significantly affecting mean wave periods and power potential. Furthermore, the wave celerity modification coefficient (<i>C</i><SUB><i>h</i></SUB>). The outcomes reveal a strong correlation between spectral shape, wave regularity, and power transmission, providing valuable insights for accurate assessment of wave energy resources and design optimization of wave energy converters.},
