| A full-spectral third-generation ocean wave model WAVEWATCHШ,which has been developed at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP),is used to calculate the global wave heights with wind 4 times daily by NCEP re-analysis data in the period of January of 2005.The significant wave heights (SWH) from WAVEWATCHШmodel are compared with those from footprint of TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter. It is shown that they are consistent with each other temporally, and accord better in deep sea than in regional and shallow sea.The wave model is transplanted from Linux to Windows system on the purpose of operational application. The most efficient Intel Fortran complier is used to process the program, and the computer time is saved effectively. This work can be regarded as the preliminary effort for operational application of WAVEWATCH III wave model in China.
