摘要

Abstract

For validating the results of retrieved mean wave period

four empirical algorithms established previously are introduced. Based on the data of over five years derived from TOPEX satellite altimeter for the entire East China Sea

ocean wave periods were calculated and statistical comparison among them was performed. The retrieved mean wave period obtained with our new distribution parameters showed better agreement with the wave periodT B measured by buoy than that calculated by other three algorithms. The difference between the mean values of and that ofT B is 0.16 s and the RMSE (root mean square error) of is the lowest value (0.48).
