“…Otherwise, the simulated time history of water level agrees well with eyewitness accounts by local residents, where the water first retreated away from the shoreline (to a level of -1 m, up to 100 m away in some places) and then quickly rose to a height of around 5 m (Esteban et al 2015). Shibayama et al (2014) indicated these rapid changes in water levels were associated with sudden changes in wind direction and can cause tsunami-like hydraulic bore in the large front of the storm surge, as observed by coastal residents. This type of bore structure was also observed by local people for the case of the storm surge associated with cyclone SIDR in 2007 (Shibayama et al 2009;Shibayama 2010).…”

“…13 and compared with the surveyed values at each location (4.8, 4.6, and 4.6 m at Tacloban City Hall (hereafter, TaCH), Tacloban Airport (TaAP), and Tacloban City Convention Center (TaCCC), respectively). The observed height was 5.5 m (average of 7.0 and 3.9 m), 5.3, and 6.2 m in TaCCC, TaAP, and TaCH, respectively (measured by Shibayama et al 2014). The estimated and observed storm surge heights show good agreement within an error or approximately 1 m, except for the case of TaCH.…”

“…The damage included broken dams, landslides, and extensive flash flooding (Rudolph and Guard 1991). However, for the case of typhoon Haiyan, the destruction was not only caused by the wind and heavy precipitation, but also by the storm surge generated by the typhoon passing through Leyte Gulf (NDRRMC 2014;Shibayama et al 2014, Leelawat et al 2014, Lagmay et al 2015. Takagi et al (2014) investigated the historical change in the typhoons' route and intensity near the Philippines and summarized that, considering the records of the typhoon in the lower Western North Pacific, Haiyan had an unusually strong maximum wind speed and path.…”

The present work evaluates potential future typhoon and storm surges around the islands of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines taking into account monthly mean sea surface temperatures, atmospheric air temperature, and relative humidity (hereafter, SST, AAT, and RH) from MIROC5 according to four scenarios proposed by IPCC AR5. Supertyphoon Haiyan (2013), which caused catastrophic damage to coastal areas in the Philippines due to its high winds and storm surge, was used as the case study storm given that it was one of the tropical cyclones recorded in modern history. In this study, the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW-WRF) is used to estimate the characteristics of both the present-day Haiyan and a typhoon with a similar return period under the climate condition of the year 2100. The unstructured, Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) was used to estimate both the present and potential future storm surges. The research has two main focuses. First, both the historical event and its storm surge are simulated and contrasted with field measurements of the storm surge height in order to prove the accuracy of the model. Second, the future typhoon and storm surge are estimated using the monthly mean value differences in SST, AAT, and RH from MIROC5 between 2011-2020 and 2091-2100 for the different scenarios. The & Ryota Nakamura characteristics of the simulated typhoon route and storm surge heights agree well with those of the best track data and field measurements. The numerical results of the future typhoon show that, if climate change is considered to only increase SST, its intensity and storm surge will be larger than under the present climate. The minimum sea-level pressure (hereafter, MSLP) of the future typhoon under scenario RCP 8.5 would be about 21 hPa lower and the storm surge 2.7 m higher than in the present climate. However, if SST, AAT, and RH are also taken into account, then the increase in typhoon intensity will not be as marked as if only SST is considered, with the MSLP under RCP 8.5 decreasing only by 13 hPa and the storm surge increasing by 0.7 m. The results of the present research thus suggest that while increases in SST can contribute to the intensification of future typhoons, increases in AAT and RH will somehow moderate this effect. Nevertheless, all scenarios considered point out to stronger typhoons and higher storm surges, clearly highlighting the perils posed by future climate change.

“…In terms of the nature of the storm surge, accounts by various residents generally describe how the waters sometimes first subsided because of very high winds directed towards the sea (Shibayama et al, 2014). During the interviews carried out by the authors, local residents reported that the storm surge generally manifested itself quickly, with the maximum inundation being reached in a short period of time.…”
