Abstract: The influence of global climate change due to green house effects will require impact assessment and adaptation strategies for future our society. The sea level rise is a static side issue of climate change and is important for human activity near the coastal zone. On the other hand, waves and storm surge are dynamic side of climate change and will be necessary to take into the consideration for coastal disaster prevention and reduction, if extreme weather events will become stronger than those in the present climate. This study estimate the future ocean wave climate in comparison with those in present climate based on the global atmospheric climate model and global wave model.
