Abstract
 It is reported that the tropical cyclones will be strengthened and the cource of tropical cyclones will be changed. Impact assessment of storm surge on climate change due to changed tropical cyclones has been carried out by severel researchers. In this study, we have carried out a sensitivity tests of storm surge simulations to climate change considering typhoon characteristics and sea level rises in the Tokyo bay. The maximum surge height at Tokyo bay with worst track had been estimated. Next, relationship between inundation area and central pressure change or sea level rise had been examined. It was found that the change of central pressure and the surge height are in a proportional relation. And the inundation at Ota area was comfirmed when the surge height or sea level rise is higher than 1.0 m.
