The concept of shape similarity has been applied to verify the accuracy of the SIND model, the real-time prediction model for disaster risk. However, the CRITIC method, one of the most widely used in geometric methodology, is definitely limited to apply to complex shape such as hazard map for coastal disaster. Therefore, we suggested the modified CRITIC method of which we added the shape factors such as RCCI and TF to consider complicated shapes. The matching pairs were manually divided into exact-matching pairs and mis-matching pairs to evaluate the applicability of the new method for shape similarity into hazard maps for storm surges. And the shape similarity of each matching pair was calculated by changing the weights of each shape factor and criteria. Newly proposed methodology and the calculated weights were applied to the objects of the existent hazard map and the results from SIND model. About 90% of exact-matching pairs had the shape similarity of 0.5 or higher, and about 70% of mis-matching pairs were it below 0.5. As future works, if we would calibrate narrowly and adjust carefully multi-objects corresponding to one object, it would be expected that the shape similarity of the exact-matching pairs will increase overall while it of the mis-matching pairs will decrease.

Under the synoptic scale strong westerly winds flowing over the large steep mountains in the eastern coastal region, the strong downslope wind storms such as internal gravity waves should be generated in the lee-side of mountain. Int he daytime as sea breeze circulation induced by meso-scale thermal forcing from sea toward inland confines to the offshore side of coastal sites due to the eastward internal gravity waves. Thus, surface winds near the coastal seas were relatively weaker than those in the open sea or the inland sites. Evidently, two different kinds of atmospheric circulations such as an internal gravity wave circulation with westerly wind and a sea breeze circulation with both easterly wind near the sea surface and westerly in the upper level were apparently produced. Under this situation the atmospheric pollutants at Kangnung city should be trapped by two different circulations in the opposite directions and resulted in the high concentrations of Total Suspended Particles (TSP) and ozone (O3). At night a meso-scale land breeze from land toward the more intensification of westerly winds in the coastal regions. The concentrations of TSP controled by the strong surface winds blowing from the mountain side toward the coastal sea were relatively higher at night than those in the daytime case and the concentrations of O3 due to the downward transport of ozone from the upper atmosphere toward the surface were also much higher at night than during the day. Consequently, the atmospheric pollutant concentrations in the mountainous coastal region under the downslope wind storms were higher than those after and before the occurrences of wind storms.

Sea surface wind is an important variable for elucidating the atmospheric-ocean interactions and predicting the dangerous weather conditions caused by oceans. Accurate sea surface wind data are required for making correct predictions; however, there are limited observational datasets for oceans. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain long-period high-resolution sea surface wind data. First, the ERA5 reanalysis wind field, which can be used for a long period at a high resolution, was regridded and synthesized using the asymmetric typhoon wind field calculated via the Generalized Asymmetric Holland Model of the numerical model named ADvanced CIRCulation model. The accuracy of the asymmetric typhoon synthesized wind field was evaluated using data obtained from Korea Meteorological Administration and Japan Meteorological Administration. As a result of the evaluation, it was found that the asymmetric typhoon synthetic wind field reproduce observations relatively well, compared with ERA5 reanalysis wind field and symmetric typhoon synthetic wind field calculated by the Holland model. The sea surface wind data produced in this study are expected to be useful for obtaining storm surge data and conducting frequency analysis of storm surges and sea surface winds in the future.

The surges caused by the typhoon “Maemi” which struck the southern coast of Korea are analysed in Kwangyang Bay on September 12, 2003. The deviations of the high water level were 93∼108 cm and the maximum deviations of the water level (maximum surges) were 176∼196 cm in Kwangyang Bay during the typhoon “Maemi”. The major parameters of the maximum deviations of the water level are as follows: Analysis shows that the pressure drop increased the sea level by 59 cm, the flood of the Sumjin River by 4-5 cm and the external surge propagation and wind setup by 113∼132 cm. During the typhoon “Maemi”, the highest high water recorded in Kwangyang Port (PT3) is 460 cm, which is higher by 5 cm than the highest high water (455 cm) with return period of 100 years estimated in planning the Kwangyang steelworks (POSCO) grounds and higher by 15 cm than the observed highest high water (445 cm) recorded during the typhoon “Thelma” on 1987. Thus, the highest high water caused by the typhoon “Maemi” is higher than the extreme highest high water for the last 20 years in Kwangyang Bay.

목포는 지형 특성상 도시기반이 낮게 조성되어 있어 폭풍해일에 의한 영향이 그리 크지 않더라도 조위가 크게 상승하는 대조기에 해안 저지대에서는 침수범람이 빈번하게 발생하는 지역이다. 특히 1997년 8월 태풍 WINNIE(9713)와 2004년 7월 태풍 MINDULLE(0407)의 간접영향시기가 대조기 고조와 중첩됨에 따라 목포 내항 및 북항 일대에 해수범람 피해가 발생한 바 있으며, 이러한 피해에 대응하여 목포 해안시설물 표고는 1997년 이전의 D.L.(+)480~500cm(목포지방해양수산청, 1998)를 D.L.(+)550cm로 증고한 상태이다. 태풍이 발생하여 내습하는 시기에 해당하는 2010년 7월~9월까지 목포지역 조석예보표(www.khoa.go.kr)에 따르면 거의 매달 500cm 이상의 조위가 예측(최고 511cm, 2010년 8월 11일)되었고, 2004년 범람이 발생한 7월과 8월에는 5.2m 이상의 조위가 3회 이상 예측된 바 있다. 또한 2000년 이후 목포지역의 태풍에 의한 해일고가 매년 50cm 내외로 기록(최고 59 cm, 태풍 RUSA(0215)됨을 고려할 때 D.L.(+)550cm의 목포 해안시설물 표고는 범람피해로부터 안전을 확보하기에는 어려움이 있을 것으로 우려된다. 특히, 최근 2년 동안은 우리나라에 직접 영향을 미친 태풍이 없었으나, 올해 8월 중순에는 대조기에 태풍 DIANMU(1004)가 내습하여 남해안 일대에 피해가 발생하였고, 올해 9월 초에 서해안으로 상륙한 태풍 KOMPASU(1007)는 강한 세력을 유지하면서 북상하여 서해안 일대 및 수도권에 큰 피해가 발생하였다. 만약 태풍 KOMPASU(1007)가 태풍 DIANMU(1004)가 내습했던 대조기 또는 9월 중순의 대조기에 내습했다고 가정한다면, 목포와 같은 서남해안의 저지대는 물론 많은 해안지역에 엄청난 피해가 발생했을 것으로 사료된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 관련연구와 자료분석을 통해 목포해역의 침수범람 위험성을 파악하고, 올해 발생한 태풍의 수치모의 적용을 통해 위험성을 검토하고자 한다.

In this study, state of sea surface were analyzed comparatively for cases of low atmospheric pressure, which occurred in the middle area of China and moved eastward to the Korean Peninsula across the Yellow sea during April 9-12, 1999, and typhoons 'NEIL' May 1999 and 'OLGA' July 1999, which moved northward along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. In cases of low pressure, wind speeds and phases were respectively stronger and faster in the center area than in the surrounding areas. The wave heights seem to a somewhat differing tendency from that of the wind speeds due to the influences of geometry. On the other hand, wave heights were lower under typhoon weather than under low pressures, except the instance of wave height over 5 m on Chilbal when typhoon Olga pass northward from the southern area. Storm surges also showed larger amplitudes under low pressures than under typhoons. The results suggest that wave sand storm surges may be larger for a slow passing synoptic low pressures than for a fast passing local typhoon.

Analysis and prediction of storm surges are very important because the global warming has raised sea levels and increased the frequency of massive typhoons, accelerating damage of coastal flooding. However, the data for storm surge prediction is lacking due to the short history of observation in South Korea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial and temporal characteristics of the previous surges and tsunamis based on the historical documents published during the Joseon Dynasty. In addition, we tried to evaluate the damage and spatial extent of such disasters, using the expressions about surge records including heights and number of administrative divisions. As a result, a total of 175 records of surges and tsunamis were compiled from 1392 to 1910: 145 events were extracted through the analysis of the ancient documents, and 30 events were from the previous research. Most of the strorm surges occurred along the west coast during summer season. More than half of the total surges were concentrated for 120 years from the mid 1600s to the mid 1700s, which was estimated to be highly relevant to the climate conditions in East Asia during the Little Ice Age. Hazardous areas by storm and tidal surges were also extracted, including Asan, Ganghwa, and Siheung during the Joseon Dyanisity period.

베트남은 자연재해로 인해 매년 평균 750명 이상의 사망자가 발생하고 있으며, 경제적인 피해 또한 한해 GDP의 1.5%에 달하고 있다. 저먼워치(Germanwatch)의 2010년 세계기후위험지수(Global Climate Risk Index, GCRI)의 전 지구적 기후재난에 관한 국가별 순위 조사에서 베트남은 4위에 기록되었다. 베트남의 자연재해는 상당 비중이 풍수해에 집중 되어 전체 재해의 86%를 차지하고 있고, 이는 대부분 해안 지대와 강 유역의 홍수 및 범람에서 비롯된 것이다. 베트남 전체인구의 약 70%가 상습적 홍수와 범람 발생 지역인 해안가에 거주하고 있어 재난에 예방 및 복구 관리에 대한 국가 차원의 방안이 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 과거 30년간의 풍수해 관련 재해에 대한 기록상 추이를 통해 공간적으로 재난에 취약한 지역적 분포를 살펴보고, 그 지역의 지리적 특성을 분석하여 재해에 관한 종합적 고찰을 하였다. 벨기에 루뱅대학 부설 재난역학연구센터(Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, CRED)의 EM-DAT를 이용하여 과거 기록상의 개괄적인 재해양상에 관한 추이를 살펴본 결과 대부분의 재난은 풍수해에 집중이 되어 있음을 분석하였고, 베트남 풍수해조정기관인 홍수및폭풍조정중앙위원회(Central Committee for Flood and Storm Control, CCFSC)의 최근 30년간 풍수해에 관련된 통계 자료를 정리하여 상습적 재난 피해지역을 지도상에 표시하였다. 이 때 지구지도제작운영위원회(International Steering Committee for Global Mapping, ISCGM)의 D_WGS_1984 Datum을 바탕으로 한 베트남 shape file을 이용하여 풍수해에 따른 인명피해, 경제적 손실, 발생횟수 등에 관한 사항을 일반화 시켜 재난 취약지역을 지리적으로 분석하였다. Thanh hoa, Quang nam, Binh Dinn, Camau성이 풍수해와 관련된 재난에 취약하게 노출되어 있음을 도출하였다. 재난에 상대적으로 취약한 이들 지역에 대한 현재의 재난 관리는 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지에 관해 현재의 풍수해관리 사업단의 조직적 구조와 그 기능 및 역할을 살펴보고, 국제적 원조 사례를 분석하여 상습적으로 재난의 위험 지역에 대한 지속적인 관리와 복구를 어떻게 이루어 나갈 것인지에 대한 방안 및 제언에 관하여 논의하고자 한다. 베트남의 재난 관리에 관한 지리적인 종합 분석은 기존 양상의 재해에 대한 방안을 구축하는 데 대한 제언뿐만 아니라 기후변화와 관련된 재난을 예측하고 관리 방안을 설정하는 데 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study we investigated the characteristics of long-term tidal constituents based on 30 tidal gauge data along the coasts of Korea and its the effects on total water level (TWL) forecasts. The results show that the solar annual (Sa) and semiannual (Ssa) tides were dominant among long-term tidal constituents, and they are relatively large in western coast of Korea peninsula. To investigate the effect of long-term tidal constituents on TWL forecasts, we produced predicted tides in 2021 with and without long-term tidal constituents. The TWL forecasts with and without long-term tidal constituents are then calculated by adding surge forecasts into predicted tides. Comparing with the TWL without long-term tidal constituents, the results with long-term tidal constituents reveals small bias in summer and relatively large negative bias in winter. It is concluded that the large error found in winter generally caused by double-counting of meteorological factors in predicted tides and surge forecasts. The predicted surge for 2021 based on the harmonic analysis shows seasonality, and it reduces the large negative bias shown in winter when it subtracted from the TWL forecasts with long-term tidal constituents.

As satellite altimetry is being progressed to apply with higher precision to marginal seas, it is necessary to improve correction procedures fer tidal signals in altimetry with more accurate tidal model than the well-known model of Schwiderski. The Bay of Bengal renders many conspicuous coastal oceanographic issues including tide and storm surge interactions along the upper Bangladesh coast. As a first step. tidal regime of semidiurmal tides (M$_2$, S$_2$, $N_2$, $K_2$) and diurnal tides (K$_1$, $O_1$, P$_1$) are computed with a model having a mesh resolution of 1/4 degree over the whole Bay of Bengal. Computed results are discussed with observation and previous Schwideski's tidal map of the region.
