Abstract
In order to accurately predict coastal waves, we built a wave estimation model using WAVEWATCH III on the open ocean and SWAN on the coast. We conducted a simulation on the coast of Tottori prefecture and confirmed that the calculated value reproduces the observation value of NOWPHAS well. Moreover, comparing with the simulation result only with SWAN, we confirmed that the accuracy of the model using WAVEWATCH III in the open ocean is higher. In addition, we examined accuracy according to spatial resolution and showed that it is desirable to finely set the spatial resolution for coastal wave estimation.
