A full-spectral third-generation ocean wind-wave model WAVEWATCHⅢ, which has been developed at the Ocean Modeling (NCEP), is used to simulate the typhoon wave heighes during August 5~15, 2004 with wind input of NCEP re-analysis data 4 times daily in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The significant wave heights (SWH) from WAVEWATCHⅢ model and TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter data under the scan points in the Northwest Pacific Ocean for the August 8-12, 2004 are compared. The temporal variation of SWHs from WAVEWATCHⅢ is generally consistent with that form T/P.
