Abstract

The wave forecast accuracy strongly depends on the sea surface wind accuracy. However, it is still common that we sometimes tune parameters in wave model according to the wind data used in the applications. In this study, we discuss the improvement of the wind energy input term as well as the drag coefficient of sea surface to be suitable for the wind data provided with a meso-scale meteorological model considered to be more accurate in applications to inner sea area. Some formulations for the term and the coefficient are examined to improve wave forecast accuracy by comparing the hindcasted results with the data observed during a few typhoons in Seto inland Sea, with some useful findings being discussed.
