N2 - The current work develops a procedure for carrying out the theories of continuous wavelet transform and inverse wavelet transform to derive sea surface level from acceleration records. Wave signals were applied to verify the practicability of the wavelet algorithm. It is revealed the accuracy of sea surface elevation is influenced by the margins of wave signals, noise in the low frequency band, and the mother wavelet function. After discussing cases of regular and irregular wave signals, this investigation confirms the method for deriving sea surface elevation from the acceleration signal using the wavelet transform.
