Abstract
This paper analyzed the distribution characteristics of incidents of high seas watches and warnings using data from 2010 to 2014. High seas watches and warnings are critical to the vessels and marine operators of the region, etc. because they affect the ability to safely maneuver. High seas often appear at the southern and middle regions of the East Sea and the eastern region of the South Sea. This phenomenon is closely connected to an extratropical cyclone's development and migration, as well as monsoon intensity. They occur primarily in winter(December ~ January) and spring(March ~ April). The statistical analysis of monthly high seas watches and warnings in both inshore and offshore areas shows a strong positive correlation.
