제주도 연악해역의 해일재해의 현황을 파악하기 위하여 제주도 연안해역의 폭풍해일과 기상조에 등에 의한 해일발생 및 피해의 자료를 분석 검토하고 제주도 연안해일의 위험도를 분석하기 위하여 제주도 연안해역을 대상으로 과거 태풍 중 각종 기록경신과 많은 피해규모를 준 태풍들을 대상으로 바람장 및 해일고를 분석 검토하여 태풍의 진로에 따른 해수면 상승을 산정하기위해 폭풍해일 수치모형(POM) 실험을 실시하여 폭풍해일고를 산정하였다. 제주항과 서귀포항 주변해역의 폭풍해일고를 산출하기 위해 16년간($1987{\sim}2003$)까지의 우리나라에 영향을 미친 태풍 중 8개를 선정(Maemi, Rusa, Prapiroon, Olga, Yanni, Janis, Gladys, Thelma)하여 폭풍해일고를 산출하였다. 수치모의 한 결과를 보면, 제주와 서귀포 연안해역에서 발생한 8개의 태풍에 대한 폭풍해일고의 발생시각은 대체적으로 관측된 해일고의 발생시각 보다 약간 늦게 해일이 발생하였지만 전체적인 해일의 시간변화나 크기는 비교적 잘 재현된 것으로 나타났다. 제주항 연안해역의 서귀포항 연안해역보다 높은 해일고를 보였으며, 해일고는 제주항, 서귀포항 모두 1m를 넘지 않았다. 제주항이 서귀포항에 비해 약간 높게 나온 이유는 태풍의 위치, 지형 및 수심, 태풍이 통과할 당시의 조석상황 등의 차이인 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 제주항과 서귀포항 연안해역이 폭풍해일고가 서해안이나 남해안에 비해 작게 나타났는데, 이는 제주도 해안선이 비교적 평탄하고 평행하게 이루어 졌으며 남해안에 비해 수심이 깊고 만의 형태나 V자형 및 긴내만이 발달한 지형이 없기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 정밀한 예측을 위해서는 정밀한 수심자료 및 격자를 이용한 계산의 결과가 필요하며, 연안개발로 인한 지형과 수심변화에 따른 지속적인 수치해도 DB구축이 요구된다.

Analysis has been made on the tide/storm surges characteristics near the Korean marginal seas in the 2008 and 2009 years using operational ocean prediction model of the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). In order to evaluate its performance, its results were compared with the observed data by tidal stations around Korean Peninsula. The model used in this study predicts very well the characteristics of tide/storm surges near the Korean Peninsula. Simulated storm surges show the evident effects of Typhoons in summer season. The averaged root mean square error(RMSE) of 48 hr forecasting between the modeled and observed storm surges are 0.272 and 0.420 m in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Due to strong sea winds, the highest storm surges heights was found in summer season of 2008, however, in 2009, the high storm surges heights was also found in other seasons. When Typhoon Kalmaegi(2008) and Morokot(2009) approached to Korean Peninsular, the accuracy of model predictions is almost same as annual mean value but the precision accuracy for Typhoon Morakot is lower than of Typhoon Kalmaegi similar to annual results.

High waves and storm surges due to tropical cyclones cause great damage in coastal areas; therefore, accurately predicting storm surges and high waves before a typhoon strike is crucial. Meteorological forcing is an important factor for predicting these catastrophic events. This study presents an improved methodology for determining accurate meteorological forcing. Typhoon Chaba, which caused serious damage to the south coast of South Korea in 2016, was selected as a case study. In this study, symmetric and asymmetric parametric vortex models based on the typhoon track forecasted by the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) were used to create meteorological forcing and were compared with those models based on the best track. The meteorological fields were also created by blending the meteorological field from the symmetric / asymmetric parametric vortex models based on the MPAS-forecasted typhoon track and the meteorological field generated by the forecasting model (MPAS). This meteorological forcing data was then used given to two-way coupled tide-surge-wave models: Advanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN). The modeled storm surges and waves correlated well with the observations and were comparable to those predicted using the best track. Based on our analysis, we propose using the parametric model with the MPAS-forecasted track, the meteorological field from the same forecasting model, and blending them to improve storm surge and wave prediction.

In order to secure the safety of coastal areas from the continuous storm surge in Korea, it is important to predict the wave movement and properties accurately during the storm event. To improve the accuracy of the storm simulation, and to quantify coastal risks from the storm event, the dependencies between wave height, wave period, and storm duration should be analyzed. In this study, therefore, copulas were used to develop multivariate statistical models of sea storms. A case study of the east coast of Korea was conducted, and the dependencies between wave height, wave period, water level, storm duration and storm interarrival time were investigated using Kendall's tau correlation coefficient. As a result of the study, only wave height, wave period, and storm duration appeared to be correlated.

To analyze the surface elevation data of Typhoon Bolaven, simple analytical models are employed to investigate major causes of the storm surges in the west coast of Korea. Although the simple models cannot reproduce the storm surges by Typhoon Bolaven accurately, they are able to provide sufficient evidence of physical processes involved in the storm surges. Surges in islands located at deeper water were mainly driven by typhoon low pressure rather than associated winds. In contrast, bigger storm surge heights more than 1m were recorded in shallow coastal areas during low tide, which were dominantly produced by typhoon winds.

A three and two dimensional (3D and 2D) numerical models were established to study the storm surge induced by Typoon Maemi in Masan and Pusan Ports. The typhoon landed on the southern coast of Korean Peninsula at 21:00, September 12, 2003 with a central pressure of 950 hPa. The observed maximum storm surge in Masan Port was 230 cm, and the computed peak storm surge using the 3D and the 2D models were 238 cm and 208 cm, respectively. The observed maximum storm surge in Pusan Port was 89 cm, and the peak storm surge of the 3D and the 2D models were 91 cm and 79 cm, respectively. The hindcasted storm surge using 3D model was in good agreement with the observed data, and the 3D model at peak time was more accurate than the 2D. The storm-induced currents were computed using the 3D model. The currents in the surface layer of Masan Bay went into the inner bay with 30~60 cm/sec, while the currents in the bottom layer flowed out with 20~40 cm/sec.

Climate change is accelerating worldwide due to the recent rise in global temperature, and the intensity of typhoons is increasing due to the rise in seawater temperature around the Korean Peninsula. An increase in typhoon intensity is expected to increase not only wind damage, but also coastal damage caused by storm surge. Accordingly, in this study, a study of the method of reducing storm surges was conducted for the purpose of disaster prevention in order to respond to the increasing damage from storm surges. Storm surges caused by typhoons can be expected to be affected by structures located on the track of typhoon, and the effects of storm surges were studied by the eastern coast and the barrier island along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the United States. This study focused on this aspect and conducted related research, considering that storm surges in the southern coastal area of the Korean Peninsula could be directly or indirectly affected by Jeju Island, which is located on the track of typhoon. In order to analyze the impact of Jeju Island on storm surges, simulations were performed in various situations using a numerical analysis model. The results of using Jeju Island are thought to be able to be used to study new disaster prevention structures that respond to super typhoons.

Recently, the unusual climate change is happening from the global warming in the whole world, the Korean peninsula is also no exception. It is predicted by many researchers that, in the near future, the Super-Typhoon of overwhelming power will occur due to rising temperatures on the sea surface around the Korean peninsula. In this study, numerical simulation has been performed with the Super-Typhoons which combined route of Typhoon Maemi with typhoon conditons of Hurricane Katrina (New Oleans in U.S.A, 2005), Typhoon Durian (philippine, 2006) and Typhoon Vera (Ise Bay in Japan, 1959) at Busan and Gyeongnam coastal area which has been badly damaged due to storm surge every year. From the numerical results, it is revealed that the storm surge heights of the Super-Typhoons are higher than that of Maemi, specially the storm surge height in the case of Katrina is about 4 times larger. So, it can be pointed out that the construction of countermeasures against disasters are very important in order to prepare against an attack of the Super-Typhoons.

Numerical simulations of the storm surge and waves induced by the Typhoon Kong-Rey incident on the south coast of Korea in 2018 are conducted using the JMA-MSM weather field provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency, and the calculated surge heights are compared with the time history observed at harbours along the south-east coast. For the waves occurring coincidentally with the storm surges the calculated significant wave heights are compared with the data measured using the wave buoys operated by the KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency) and the KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration), and the data observed at AWAC stations of the KIOST (Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology). Additional simulations are also performed based on the pressure and wind fields obtained using the best track information provided by the JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) of the United States, and the results are compared and analyzed. Based on the results of this study it is found that the reliable weather fields are essential for the accurate simulation of storm surges and waves.
