Analysis of sea level measurements and wind wave parameters in Aniva Bay (Sea of Okhotsk)

The paper presents an analysis of measurements of sea level and parameters of wind waves in Aniva Bay, performed using hydrostatic pressure sensors in June‒August 2023. Measurements were carried out at mooring stations at depths of 10 and 15 m. Hydrostatic pressure data in the analysis of wind waves were adjusted taking into account the linear theory. The total range of sea level fluctuations was 1.63 m in syzygy and 0.3 m in quadrature. The maximum of significant wave height was 1.73 m, and the maximum height of an individual wave was 2.82 m. The presence of anomalous waves with an anomaly index of more than 2 has been detected. When comparing the wave height according to the simulation results with the measurement data, it was found that the correlation coefficient is 0.84, and the RMS error is 0.17 m.
