Abstract
- Long-period abnormally high swell waves have been generated in the East Sea near Hokkaido, Japan, in winter during the atmospheric depression. These waves, named Yorimawari in Japanese, occasionally attack the coasts of both Korea and Japan. Waves significantly higher than normal years were recorded along the east Korean coast in 2006. In 2008, the swell caused considerable damages in Toyama and the Niigata coastal area of Japan and in Anmok east coast of Korea. This paper attempts to hindcast these events using unstructured grid wave model UnSwan with input of high resolution reanalysis wind data from ECMWF. Wave heights and periods are found to be fairly well reproduced comparing with the observed values in the south of the East/Japan Sea, although the long period wave with small amplitude is hardly reproduced..
