Seol, Dong-Il (Division of Navigation Science, Korea Maritime University)
Abstract
Characteristics of meteorological disasters in the southern coast of Korea were analyzed for 20 years from 1989 to 2008 using the Korea meteorological administration's data. The main results are summarized as follows. Yearly mean number and the total number of meteorological disasters in the southern coast of Korea during 20 years are 7.5 and 149, respectively. The highest number appears in July followed by August and the third is September. The meteorological disasters from July to September occupied about 42%. The seasonal mean number is most in summer(about 39% of all), the next orders are the autumn, winter and spring. The meteorological disasters in summer are mainly caused by typhoon and heavy rain. The meteorological disasters of a great scale occurred by typhoons(for example, 9112 GLADYS, 0215 RUSA and 0314 MAEMI) which strike in the southern coast of Korea.
