INVESTIGATING PARENT DISTRIBUTION OF TYPHOON-GENERATED ANNUAL MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHT AND SAMPLE DISTRIBUTION OF RETURN WAVE HEIGHT ON THE EAST CHINA SEA Masataka YAMAGUCHI Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ehime University, Japan
. Aim of the Study Identifying the parent distribtion of extreme waves may contribute to an improvement of statistical reliability of the estimated return wave height. From this point of view, by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, we make a huge size sample of typhoongenerated(tg) annual maximum(am) wave height on the East China Sea with extensive shallow water area, where AM wave height is usually produced by a strong typhoon.
The extreme value analyses using the sample are conducted for two purposes. ) Estimation of a parent distribution of TG-AM wave height a TG-AM sample with size of 0,000 ) Investigation of sample distribution of return wave height 00 sets of a TG-AM sample with size of 0

Spatial variation of parameters of estimated parent distribution in simulated typhoon case. ) H 0 is more than 6 m on the southeastern area and reduces to 6-8 m towards the northwestern area due to the decay of typhoon intensity. ) Shape parameter k tends to decrease from on the central and southeastern areas toward around. on the northwestern area. ) Spread parameter γ 0 indicates almost opposite spatial distribution to the case of shape parameter. Frequent passage of typhoons on the southeastern area may bring about a sharper probability distribution of typhoon - generated AM wave height data.
Spatial distribution of return wave height statistics in historical typhoon case. ) Distribution of return wave height and spread parameter are similar to those in simulated typhoon case. ) Standard deviation from 0. to.m is much larger than the maximum value of 0.07m in the simulated typhoon case.
Spatial distribution of return wave height statistics( 0,, γ σ ) in FSP or VSP case H H 0 0 γ 0 ) Mean value H 0, in Fixed SP case almost completely agrees with H 0, γ 0 obtained form 0,000 sample respectively. ) Fixed Shape Parameter case gives a bit smaller H 0, smaller Hσ 0, and smaller spread parameter γ 0 than Variable Shape Parameter case.
In FSP case ρ r, k r is independent of return period. ρ r, k r is greater than in VSP case. better fitting of optimum distribution and smaller variability of return wave height. In VSP case ρ r, k r is smaller with increasing return period. lesser fitting and larger variability of return wave height. with increasing return period.

. Conclusions Identification of the parent distribution of return wave height contributes to more efficient estimation of return wave height. Sample of return wave height is subject to the normal distribution in a rough sense, but is approximated well by asymmetrical distribution such as the Weibull or Gumbel distribution in detailed aspects. Shape parameter k R hardly depends on return period R in KPD case, but it decreases in UKPD case (growing variability of return wave height).
