摘要
A numerical study of sea waves generated by tropical cyclone Jelawat is carried out using the cycle 4 version of the WAM.The model domain currently covers the latitudes 20-45 N and longitudes 115-135 E,and the model spatial resolution reaches 0.25 ×0.25.Comparison of the model results with buoy observations reveals that the model can fairly reproduce the temporal variation of observed waves.Two-dimensional comparison is also made against the satellite altimeter significant wave heights derived from TOPEX/POSEIDON and ERS-2 data,showing high quality of the model performance.
