Abnormal storm waves in the East Sea (Japan Sea) in April 2012 The winter East Sea, a semi-enclosed sea surrounded by Korea in the west, Japan in the east and south and Russia in the north, normally experiences rough sea conditions due to East Asian monsoon and winter storms. In April 2012, record-breaking abnormally high waves, significant wave heights of 11.21 m and 12.39 m and significant wave periods of 13.6 sec and 14.3 sec at Akita and Yamagata GPS buoy sites, respectively, were observed along the Tohoku coast in the East Sea side of Japan. It was due to a well- and fast-developed low pressure passing through the East Sea. This paper describes how a low pressure could be grown so rapidly to tropical cyclone level in this time and numerical hindcast results for future forecast and engineering purpose. With respect to the meteorological condition, it is found that strong convective motion due to latent heat and water vapor from Tsushima Warm Current together with an accompani...
