Abstract

Abstract

In this study, the third-generation wave model WAVEWATCH -Ⅲ (WW3) was used to simulate the wave field of the China Sea from January 1988 to December 2010, with wind input of CCMP wind field.In order to evaluate the wave energy resources reasonably, significant interval was defined.Synthetically considering the size of energy density, significant interval, stability and long-term trend of wave energy density, wave energy storage, wave energy in the China Sea were analyzed.Results show that, (1) Large area of wave energy density mainly located in the north waters of South China Sea, of above 8 kW/m all year round.(2) Frequency of significant interval in East China Sea and South China Sea is high.(3) Stability of wave energy density in January is better than that in April and October, and in July is the worst.Stability in north waters of South China Sea is much better than that in other areas.(4) Wave energy storage in most of China Sea is large than 2×10⁴kW·h/m, and the large area locates in the north waters of South China Sea.(5) SWH and wave energy density in most of China Sea have significant increasing trend from 1988 to 2010, of 0.5-2.5 cm/a in SWH and 0.05-0.55 kW/(m·a) in wave energy density.(6) There is a rich storage of wave energy in the China sea, especially in the north waters of South China Sea, Ryukyu Islands waters and east area of Taiwan Island.
