Abstract: In this paper, a case study of sea wave generated by typhoon Jelawat is carried out by using the cycle 4 version of the WAM (Wave Model) model (hereafter referred to as WAM4). The model domain currently covers from latitudes 20N-45N and longitudes115E-135E, and the model spatial resolution reaches 0.25. Comparisons among the model results, the buoy observations and the altimeter wave height data from ERS-2 and TOPEX/POSEIDON demonstrate that the model can fairly reproduce the observed characteristics of waves.
