Abstract
 This paper presents the study of a cyclone frequency and a wave characteristic in Bay of Bengal. In recent, there were some damages by the wave and the storm surge caused by the landing cyclones in Bay of Bengal. In order to estimate the damages of wave and storm surge, it is necessary to investigate the frequency of the cyclones by using cyclone track archives and weather re-analyzed data.
 In this study, cyclone track archives and weather re-analyzed data were collected. And the analysis of cyclone tracks frequency was carried out and the wave prediction analysis based on the third generation wave prediction model (SWAN) were carried out. The results were presented the frequency and the wave scale in the typical area of Bay of Bengal.
