Abstract：In this study,we used significant wave height records from different satellite databases to modeling the seasonal and inter-annual variability of wave climate throughout South China Sea by a time-dependent GEV.The results showed that the seasonal variation was related to the position and the scale parameters.The maximum value of the position parameter was in the northeast of South China Sea in winter while such position parameter was the smallest in summer.The maximum value of the scale was in July and the smallest in winter.Interannual variation was related to Npo index.The influence of NPO was mainly a negative contribution,and the negative contribution in southwest China was obvious.
