The Ocean model POM is used to simulate the currents and sea levels for the whole Bohai Sea continuously from 1985 to 2004. The wind forcing at the sea surface is based on the hindcast of high-resolution wind fields from RAMS. Comparisons of currents and sea levels between simulations and station observations show good agreement in general. Based on that, tidal currents and long-term wind-driven currents are discussed. The sea level characteristics such as mean sea levels, highest and lowest astronomical tide are also given. Furthermore, current velocities at surface and bottom layers, high and low sea levels for 100-years return periods and are studied in this paper.
