A second-order upwind scheme is used to investigate the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea and the predicted results are compared with the field data and results of a first-order upwind scheme. In the numerical model, the governing equations solved by the finite difference scheme are the linear shallow-water equations in deep water and nonlinear shallow-water equations in shallow water. The target events are 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami and 1993 Hokkaido Nansei Oki Tsunami. The predicted results represent reasonably well the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea. And, the results of simulation are used for the design of inundation map.

Tide-surge interaction during typhoon periods has been analyzed. The quantitative analysis of the Chi-square test shows that the interaction is most prominent at the Southwestern coast whereas the Western and the Southeastern regions are not. Patterns of surge type were divided into two groups, that is, steep type and mild type. Then, the interaction was turned out to be more prominent for mild type data. The weak interaction at the Western region is considered due to negative surges when the south-track typhoons attack. However, the interaction is remarkable when the west-track typhoons attack. The weak interaction at the Southeastern coast is, on the other hand, considered due to abundance of the steep type typhoons. Thus, inundation risk would be so apprehensive at that region because large-scale surge might be caused even at high tide.

Storm surges caused by a typhoon occur during the summer season, when the sea-level is higher than the annual average due to steric effect. In this study, we analyzed the sea-level pressure and tidal data collected in 1 h intervals at Incheon, Kunsan, Mokpo, Seogwipo stations on the Yellow Sea coast to analyze the summer season storm surge and wave overtopping. According to our analyses, the summer mean sea-level rise on the west and south coasts is approximately 20 cm and 15 to 20 cm higher than the annual mean sea-level rise. Changes in sea-level rise are closely related to changes in seasonal sea-level pressure, within the range of 1.58 to 1.73 cm/hPa. These correlated mechanisms generates a phase difference of one month or more. The 18.6 year long period tidal constituents indicate that in 2090, the amplitude of the $M_2$ basin peaks on the southwest coast. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the target year for global warming and sea-level rise in 2090. Wave overtopping was simulated considering annual mean sea-level rise, summer sea level rise, the combined effect of nodal factor variation, and 100-year frequency storm surge. As a result, flooding by wave overtopping occurs in the area of Suyong Bay, Busan. In 2090, overtopping discharges are more than doubled than those in Marine City by the recent typhoon Chaba. Adequate coastal design is needed to prepare for flood vulnerability.

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.

최근 지구온난화로 인한 기후변화 및 해양온난화로 태풍의 강도가 높아지고 빈도가 증가함에 따라 연안 지역의 침수범람과 같은 자연재해로 인한 인명 재산 피해가 심각해지고 있다. 이에 폭풍해일로 인한 연안 재해저감을 위한 해양 관측 및 수치 모델을 통한 정확한 폭풍해일 예측에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Web-GIS 기반 실시간 폭풍해일 예측 결과의 시각화 기법에 대한 연구를 통하여 자연재해 저감을 위한 효과적 정보전달 통한 의사결정에 도움을 주고자한다.

In this paper, a dynamic warning system to forecast inland flooding associated with typhoons and storms is described. The system is used operationally during the typhoon season to anticipate the potential impact such as inland flooding on the coastal zone of interest. The system has been developed for the use of the public and emergency management officials. Simple typhoon models for quick prediction of wind fields are implemented in a user-friendly way by using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of MATLAB. The main program for simulating tides, depth-averaged tidal currents, wind-driven surges and currents was also vectorized for the fast performance by MATLAB. By pushing buttons and clicking the typhoon paths, the user is able to obtain real-time water level fluctuation of specific points and the flooding zone. This system would guide local officials to make systematic use of threat information possible. However, the model results are sensitive to typhoon path, and it is yet difficult to provide accurate information to local emergency managers.

In the ocean area surrounding the Korean Peninsula, the undersea earthquakes have occurred frequently during last decades. The eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula is very vulnerable to tsunami attacks which occur along the Western Coast of Japan. In special, the middle areas of the eastern coast of Korean Peninsula have been damaged due to the Central East Sea Tsunami occurred in 1983. Thus, tsunami hazard mitigation becomes an important issue at eastern coastal communities. The countermeasures against unexpected tsunami attacks are not sufficient because the government policy generally focused on not preventing but recovering. In this paper, a hazard map based on the field survey and tsunami evacuation simulation is developed to mitigate tsunami damage at Imwon port, which was severely damaged during the 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami.

The simulation of tsunami inundation using detailed bathymetry and topography is required to establish the countermeasure of disaster mitigation and the tsunami hazard map. In this study, a simulation of the 1983 tsunami event in the East Sea using parallel finite element model, which is possible to simulate with suitable accuracy by the Beowulf parallel computation method, is performed to produce detailed features of coastal inundation. Results of simulations are compared with measured data. The evolution of statistic distribution of tsunami heights is studied numerically and the distribution functions of tsunami heights show a tendency to the log-normal curve along coastal area.

Recently, many tsunamis triggered by impulsive undersea ground motions occurred in subduction zones around the Pacific Ocean area including the East Sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia. The wave height of a tsunami may be in the order of several meters, while the wavelength can be up to 1,000 km in the ocean, where the average water depth is about 4 km. A tsunami could cause a severe coastal flooding and property damage not only at neighboring countries but also at distant countries. A fundamental and economic way to mitigate unusual tsunami attacks is to construct tsunami hazard maps along coastal areas vulnerable to tsunami flooding. These maps should be developed based on the historical tsunami events and projected scenarios. The map could be used to make evacuation plans in the event of a real tsunami assault.

Many islands are scattered around the southern area of the Korean Peninsula and they may be very vulnerable to unexpected tsunami attacks. During the East Japan Tsunami Event occurred on March 11, 2011, many islands located at the southern area were affected by tsunamis. In this study, maximum run-up heights of solitary waves on a circular island with asymmetrical crest lengths investigated by using a numerical model based on the shallow-water theory. The obtained results could be used by local authorities to establish a defense plan against unexpected tsunami invasion.
