日本海における季節風時の波浪予知 (2)-波浪の数値予知-

Abstract

The prediction of huge waves in the Japan Sea is very important to prevent or mitigatecoastal disasters. A series of numerical prediction of wind waves generated by monsoons iscarried out by the wave prediction model of Yamaguchi and Tsuchiya for a period of about twomonths starting from February 8, 1981. Wave characteristics predicted are compared with wavedata observed along the coasts of the Japan Sea. The applicability of the wave prediction modelis practically very good. Growing and decaying processes of wind waves in the period of mon-soons are considered to find possibility of the occurrence of huge waves which have sometimesattacked Toyama coasts and are called Yorimawari-nami waves in the district.
