Numerical Simulation of so-called ‘Yorimawari-Waves’ Caused by the Low Pressures on Feb. 2008 Using the Meso-scale Meteorological Model and the Wave Model

Evaluation of WAVEWATCH III performance with wind input and dissipation source terms using wave buoy measurements for October 2006 along the east Korean coast in the East Sea

“…In Dorman et al (2004), the mean weather state over the ES, modified by alternating highs and lows, is characterized by four types: (A) the dominant flow of cold Asian air towards the southeast over the ES; (B) passage of a weak low towards the northeast over the southern ES with an outbreak of cold-air in a southerly direction on the backside of the low; (C) passage of a moderate low towards the northeast along the northwestern side of the ES; and (D) an occasional very cold Siberian air outbreak towards the south and southwest. With respect to abnormal storm waves in the ES in the winter, Lee et al (2010Lee et al ( , 2008 give a comprehensive overview based on a literature review and numerical simulations, and Lee and Yamashita (2011) categorize the movements of strong developed lows (e.g., winter storms or extra-tropical cyclones) into three patterns ( Fig. 1):…”

Abnormal storm waves in the winter East/Japan Sea: generation process and hindcasting using an atmosphere-wind wave modelling system

“…Therefore, it is indispensable to analyse the meteorological conditions through mesoscale meteorological modelling to best understand and estimate abnormal storm waves in numerical studies. More recently, Lee et al (2008) studied the mechanisms of generation of abnormal storm waves, including Yorimawari Wave events, in the EJS in February 2008. The study was based on observations and numerical simulations using an atmosphere-wave modelling system, taking into account meteorological conditions as well as topographical and bathymetric effects in numerical studies.…”
