Abstract
In Japan, a wave observation network called NOWPHAS (Nationwide Ocean Wave information network for Ports and HAbourS) has been maintained since 1970's, and NOWPHAS has about seventy wave observation points. On the Pacific side in the Tohoku district, GPS-mounted buoy and coastal wave gauges observe ocean waves. Therefore, it is important to examine the correlativity of wave data observed by these wave gauges. This study examines the correlativity of observed wave data between GPS-mounted buoy and coastal wave gauge, and the estimation of wave height on coastal wave gauge on the basis of wave height observed by GPS-mounted buoy. As a result, it was confirmed that there is the correlativity of wave data observed by both wave gauges though it depends on wave direction.
