## 4. Time Series Generation


**Generate Irregular Wave Time Series:**
```python
def generate_irregular_wave_time_series(
    S: np.ndarray,
    frequencies: np.ndarray,
    duration: float,
    dt: float,
    random_seed: int = None
) -> tuple[np.ndarray, np.ndarray]:
    """
    Generate irregular wave elevation time series from spectrum.

    Args:
        S: Wave spectrum (m²/Hz)
        frequencies: Frequency array (Hz)
        duration: Duration (s)
        dt: Time step (s)
        random_seed: Random seed for reproducibility

    Returns:
        (time, elevation) arrays
    """

    # Time array
    time = np.arange(0, duration, dt)

    # Initialize elevation
    eta = np.zeros_like(time)

    # Frequency resolution
    df = frequencies[1] - frequencies[0]

    # Generate wave components
    for i, f in enumerate(frequencies):

## 5. Wave Scatter Diagrams


**Create Wave Scatter Diagram:**
```python
def create_wave_scatter_diagram(
    Hs_bins: np.ndarray,
    Tp_bins: np.ndarray,
    location_data: dict
) -> np.ndarray:
    """
