abstract = "One-month wave simulations were performed from Oct. 1st to Nov. 1st in 2014. The one-way numerical models composed of WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) and SWAN (Simulating WAve Nearshore) were used. This research focused on evaluations of both a resolution of wind data and a difference between structured SWAN (STSWAN) and unstructured SWAN (UNSWAN). The results show some differences among case studies. High resolution wind data affect peak values of significant waves at typhoon periods. In addition, the overestimation of swell caused by typhoons decreased at the nearshore points, in particular at Shimoda by using UNSWAN. As a conclusion, there is little difference between STSWAN and UNSWAN on the overall simulation of wave climate. However, UNSWAN is useful for simulating nearshore waves and has possibility to predict wave climate with higher precision than STSWAN.",
