The wave data collection method and the wave characteristic in Indonesian domestic seas using the satellite altimeter data in this research were discussed. For the estimation of long-term probability distribution of wave height and wave period, P(H,T), the satellite TOPEX/POSEIDON wave height data for five years from 1997 to 2000 and the JWA (Japan Weather Association) wave hind-casting data in 2000 were used. As a result, the characteristics of long-term P(H,T) distributions in the four small sea divisions of Indonesian domestic seas were cleared. It was confirmed that the satellite altimeter data was very effective tool for the wave data collection in the seas.
