Abstract
The wave characteristics of the eastern Guangdong offshore water were quantified based on 1-year wave observations at a water depth of 60 m. This study statistically analyzed the observed wave characteristics and quantified the variations of the wave parameters and spectrum due to Super Typhoon Mangkhut. Results showed that the dominant and strong wave directions in the northeastern South China Sea were north-eastern and eastern, respectively. The average significant wave height was in the range of 0.7–2.4 m. During Super Typhoon Mangkhut, the maximum wave height and period were 11.3 m and 10–12 s, respectively, and peak spectral density mainly varied between 0.06 and 0.1 Hz. Results of this study can provide a basis for offshore engineering design and are of great significance for marine forecasting and disaster prevention and reduction.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
