RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MONTHLY MEAN WAVE HEIGHT USING THE STATISTICAL WAVE MODEL AND SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF METEOROLOGICAL MODEL

Abstract

 Wave forecasts are used in various fields, such as marine leisure, fishery, and marine construction, and the necessary wave prediction period differs depending on the purpose. Medium-term forecasts are also important for construction planning for marine construction. This study investigated the effect of the difference in spatial resolution of long-term weather forecast data of the meteorological model on predicted wave height using the statistical wave model. As a result, it was found that the difference in the spatial resolution of meteorological data does not greatly affect the monthly mean wave height prediction, and the wave height calculation using the GPV initial meteorological data has the same accuracy.
