Abstract
It is important to estimate offshore winds with high accuracy in hindcasting ocean waves. In the open ocean areas, offshore winds have been estimated by using gradient wind which can be calculated with the sea surface pressure distribution. But in the inland sea areas, the offshore winds are more complicated, because they are affected by surrounding land topography. This study reveals that accuracy of offshore wind estimation and wave hindcast in inland seas such as Ariake Sea can be improved by using GPV (Grid Point Value) data presented by Japan Meteorological Agency and observed wind data.
