Abstract

Public works in coastal region require accurate and reliable wave information not only in deep-sea areas but also in coastal areas, especially in bay areas. However, WAM has some drawbacks in applying it to bay areas since some of the parameters in WAM were tuned for deep-water conditions. In this study we examined and discussed the applicability of WAM to bay areas, then discussed some method to improve the applicability of WAM to the areas. On the other hand, accurate wind estimation with high time-spatial resolution is indispensable for accurate estimation of wave conditions around the sea. We, therefore, applied MASCON model by which influence of geographical features can be taken into account in wind estimation, and discussed the applicability of MASCON model.
