So the wave data measured at these regions must have been affected by current. Since the combination of current with wave climate is a random process, i. e. spring tide may be met with small waves, or neap tide with strong waves, so the measured wave data related to the wind data have great divergence under the influence of current. In this paper, based on the research of wave refraction by influence of both current and water depth (Pan and Li, 1987), the influence of tide current and river discharge on the wave parameters in Luojing area of Yangtze River Etuary and Beilum harbour area are discussed. As a conclusion, for determining the design wave in still water, or for establishing the relationship between waves and winds, pure wave data should be separated from the measured wave data.展开更多
