UPGRADE OF WAVE PREDICTION TECHNIQUE ON SHALLOW WATER REGION IN INNER BAY (SUO-NADA)

We have upgraded from the 1st generation wave model to the 2nd generation wave model, and the 3rd one (in the Jurisdiction Waves Prediction Upgrade Investigation). In addition, we have also upgraded from the shallow water significant wave method to the shallow water TOHOKU-II model for inner bays like Suo-nada and Ariakesea.In this time, the 3rd generation wave prediction model is applied to the upgrade of the waves prediction technique in the inner bays, and various problems on the shallow water region in the inner bays are examined. It is necessary to consider the tidal change for the waves prediction by the model on the shallow water region in inner bays.
