| Abstract: | The wind system over the China seas plays an important role in climate variation there. In this paper, ERS-2 scatterometer
winds covering the period of 1998 and the area of 25–411N, 117–1301E were analyzed and compared to NCEP winds and buoy winds
in the same period and location, to assess how well the ERS-2 data reflect the real wind regime, at least for this area. The
results indicated that ERS-2 scatterometer winds are closer to buoy observations than NCEP winds. In addition, a new wind-wave
growth relation was applied to calculate wave parameters.
