Storm Surge Damage on Motoyoshiwara Coast caused by Typhoon No. 26, 1966

Storm deposition layer on the Fujian coast generated by Typhoon Saola (2012)

Typhoons have a significant effect on the marine depositional environment and depositional process. In this paper, we used the high-resolution Chirp sonar sub-bottom profiler and radioisotope detection techniques to examine the storm-deposited layer formed in the seawater near the path of Typhoon Saola along the coast of Fujian, China. The thickness of the typhoon-deposited layer acquired using...

Storm Surge Prediction for Louisiana Coast Using Artificial Neural Networks

Local amplification of storm surge by Super Typhoon Haiyan in Leyte Gulf

Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines in November 2013, was an extremely intense tropical cyclone that had a catastrophic impact. The minimum central pressure of Typhoon Haiyan was 895 hPa, making it the strongest typhoon to make landfall on a major island in the western North Pacific Ocean. The characteristics of Typhoon Haiyan and its related storm surge are estimated by numerical expe...

Estimation of Damage Length of Maritime Structures Caused by Typhoon 9918 Based on iEWE Method

In 1999, Typhoon 9918 struck Kyushu Island, which is located in Western Japan. During the strongest stage of the typhoon, the central pressure was 930 hPa and the maximum wind speed was 45 m/s near the center of the typhoon. The maximum storm tide was over 2 m along the coast of Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyushu Island. Due to the storm surges and wind waves, the typhoon caused enormous damage to m...

Predictability of Seasonal East Coast Winter Storm Surge Impacts with Application to New York's Long Island (running Title: Predictability of East Coast Winter Storm Surge Impacts)

The characteristics of seasons with enhanced East Coast winter storm and storm surge activity are identified from among a set of global atmospheric circulation indices and local land and sea surface temperature anomalies. Without regard for storm strength or surge potential, the most active East Coast winter storm (ECWS) seasons occur in association with El Niño events. There is also some indic...
