Abstract
One of the most important problems in coastal engineering is the estimation of the transformation of waves as they approach the shore through shallow water. This report is based on the results of the wave observation off the Akita coast. From the corresponding values of the significant wave heights at two stations, the loss of wave energy due to bottom friction is investigated quantitatively and the bottom friction factor of this coast is estimated. The estimated values of the bottom friction factor are 0.033∼0.090 and the mean is 0.057.Keywords
