Abstract
ABSTRACT Yuk, J.-H.; Kim, K.O.; Jung, K.T., and Choi, B.H., 2016. Swell prediction for the Korean coast. The accurate prediction of abnormally high waves occurring in the East Sea during winter is important in terms of the prevention of coastal disasters along the east Korean coast. This study attempts to hindcast the abnormally high swell wave events that occurred in October 2006 and February 2008 using the unstructured grid wave model UnSWAN with high-resolution reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts as meteorological inputs. The model used in this study incorporates an additional weighting factor for the relative wave-number in dissipation source term to improve swell propagation and wave period. Wave heights and periods are well reproduced compared with the observational data. Examination of the meteorological data and model results shows that the abnormally high waves in October 2006 were induced by the overlap of a swell wave and a wind-generated wave with nearly...
