The invention relates to a multivariate time series similarity measuring method oriented to the ocean field. The similarity measuring method comprises the following steps that S1, typhoon data is collected; S2, the typhoon data is preprocessed, wherein typhoon attribute screening and data supplementing are included; S3, the typhoon data is described, wherein movement direction showing and typhoon time series showing are included; S4, the typhoon data is subjected to similarity measurement, wherein typhoon attribute weight calculation, W-DTW distance calculation and W-DTW distance judgment are included ; S5, similar typhoon is output. The method has the advantages that whether two ocean time series with dynamics, spatiality, predictability and multiple attributes are similar or not is judged; the development trend of a current ocean event is judged based on an occurring ocean event; for ocean disasters, a convenient auxiliary decision can be provided for relevant departments, protection measures are taken, and economic losses and casualties caused by the ocean disasters are reduced.
