Abstract
Ocean surface waves exposed to extreme weather conditions, such as tropical cyclones (TCs), are critical environmental forces acting on the coastal and offshore structures. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the applicability of the third-generation wave model WAVEWATCH III for simulated waves in the China Seas, where TCs are frequent. This study compares different packages of wind input and wave dissipation (ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, and ST6) during five TCs with significant wave heights (SWHs) and wave spectra in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea. The results show that ST6 performs best in the simulation of the SWHs, presenting the only positive deviation, with a normalized mean bias of 1.76%. ST2 systematically underestimates the large SWHs due to insufficient wind input from the spectra. However, the suitability of the packages varies in different sea conditions. ST6 is preferred in extreme wave simulations during TCs, ST4 performs best under the weak influence of TCs, and ST2 has the best performance in calm sea conditions.
