Abstract

Storm surges are defined as abnormal changes of sea surface elevation whose periods range from several hours to days. The generation mechanism is separated into two. One is sea water suction due to atmospheric depression and the other is wind-driven sea water circulation. The former is a forced long-wave motion which is accompanied by a typhoon. (omitted)
