Simulation of typhoon waves in Zhanjiang Port sea area

The SWAN model is used to simulate the process of three typhoons over the sea area around the Zhanjiang Port. In this model, the wind field is obtained by assimilation of the typhoon essentials, NCAR grid information, and observed data at individual stations, and the boundary condition of the wave spectra is obtained by the selfnesting method. The simulated results of the three typhoons are satisfactory, which can provide good reference for prediction of typhoon waves in this sea area.
