Abstract
Wave hindcastings for 16 strong typhoons in the recent 16 years are conducted separately in the 3 sea areas of the Seto Inland Sea to estimate the maximum wave height in the Sea. A wave model is driven by one-hourly winds obtained with a spatial interpolation of measurement data at many coastal and sea stations and using inflow directional spectra calculated on the boundary that is open to the Pacific Ocean. The wave hindcasts are validated by a close agreement with the measurements at many stations. Brief conclusions are that the maximum wave heights of 4 to 7 m in the northern area of the Sea are caused by either Typhoon 9119 or 0418 and that the wave heights of 4 to 5 m in the southern area are generated by either Typhoon 0423 or 0310.
