Abstract: The shoreline of Chaohu Lake (Anhui Province) is undergoing these last decades serious erosion with rates up to 10 m year 1. To assess this problem in the standing point of dynamic geomorphology waves data are necessary because they are the primary force of shoreline erosion. Such wave data are not available for Chaohu Lake. This study uses the wave predictive method to deduce Chaohu Lake wave parameters: wave height, wave period, wavelength from wind speed and fetch. The results show a great variability of waves parameters under normal winds and extremes winds (Storm events).
