Abstract

Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute(KORDI) conducted a continuous wave hindcast for 20 years from 1979 for the area 20-50 N, 120-150 E to cover the North East Asia Regional Seas. An interactive data base of hindcast wave data was built to handle large quantities of wave information to provide a comprehensive information of the long-term wave climate in the region. A method to produce the coastal wave information at an arbitrary point of interest using the offshore boundary conditions automatically retrieved from the data base has been developed and various statistic information needed by coastal engineers can be produced and provided in terms of tables and figures. First a PC based system had been developed to make the data base accessible to the user, which was later converted to the system to allow users direct access to the data through internet. A user friendly interactive coastal wave information system was established for better ocean and coastal services.
