Wave characteristics in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk – the area of water transport routes to the southern Kuril Islands
This paper describes the results of studying the waves in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk on the sea routes between Sakhalin and Iturup islands by means of autonomous wave recorders. The study was performed in order to improve the safety of the maritime transport system and ensure its safe f...

This paper describes the results of studying the waves in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk on the sea routes between Sakhalin and Iturup islands by means of autonomous wave recorders. The study was performed in order to improve the safety of the maritime transport system and ensure its safe functioning. Analysis of the wave regime and weather conditions in the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, has shown that a cyclone of any direction approaching the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, causes sea waves with heights of more than 1.7 meters in the considered water area and nearshore of Iturup Island. However, if a cyclone approaches Sakhalin Island from the northwest direction, the height of wind waves and swell in the coastal area of the southeast of the island is small, and here is an opportunity for ships to take shelter from the storm. The analysis of long waves with tidal harmonic periods of 4 hours and more has shown, that they have almost the same oscillation phase for both islands.
