Abstract
Using SDP (Surface Data Product) wind data acquired at on-land meteorological stations, Yamaguchi et al.(2009) made data sets of hourly sea surface wind distributions over a 45-year period in Tokyo Bay, Ise Bay and the Seto Inland Sea. Time variation of wind speed and direction at coastal or sea stations in a storm is compared between computation and measurement for each of the measurement data-available stations during many storms, in cases where the error evaluation is represented by 7 indices such as correlation coefficient and so on. Frequency distribution of individual error index is made by collecting the results for all station-storm cases and statistics are obtained. The same procedure is taken for hindcast wave height data. Overall investigations of the error statistics reveal that data sets of the estimated winds and wave heights are acceptable products for practical use.
