Numerical Simulation of Typhoon Waves along the Offshore China Seas

Abstract:

The model of WAVEWATCHIII was applied to simulate two consecutive typhoons, number 1104”Haima” and number 1105”Meari”, and then the results of calculations were compared with the buoy data. The results show that under the influence of the typhoon, sea surface wind field and the significant wave height have similar symmetrical structure in the space distribution. In terms of time, with the development of typhoon, changes of the wind speed cause an invisible effect in wave height which explains that the wave height has very strong dependence on the wind speed. The analysis shows that the WAVEWATCHIII can simulate the characteristics of the typhoon wave.
