Storm Surge Simulation due to Isewan Typhoon using Detailed Meteorological Re-analysis Data

Abstract

Re-analysis and reproduction of storm surges and waves due to the Isewan Typhoon were tried using the detailed re-analysis meteorological data that agreed with the meteorologocal observations. In the simulations a coupled model of surge, wave and tide was used. The predictions using the coupled model agreed well with the observed surges, but not for the uncoupled model's predictions that are much smaller than the observations. Predicted waves were comapred with previous estimations since there are no observations. The magnitudes of wave heights were constistent each other.
