“…The dissipation effect of bottom friction on these coastal trapped waves is significant in the wide shelfs of the China Seas. After a typhoon makes landfall and moves away, Ekman setup can generate surges along the coasts such as Tottori coasts of the East Sea [63].…”

The Western North Paciic (WNP) is the most favorable area in the world for the generation of tropical cyclones (TCs). As the most intense weather system, TCs play an important role in the change of ocean environment in the WNP. Based on many investigations published in the literature, we obtained a collective and systematic understanding of the inluence of TCs on ocean components in the WNP, including sea temperature, ocean currents, mesoscale eddies, storm surges, phytoplankton (indicated by chlorophyll a). Some ocean responses to TCs are unique in the WNP because of the existence of the Kuroshio and special geographical conigurations such as the South China Sea.

“…Since SuWAT was developed by Kim et al (2008), the modeling system has been verified with Typhoons Anita in 1970 (Kim et al, 2010), Ewiniar in 2006 (Kim et al, 2008), Songda in 2004 (Kim et al, 2014a) and Vera in 1959 (Mase et al, 2011), for instance. The brief description of SuWAT is summarized in the following subsections.…”

“…Finally, the wind at 10 m height is acquired by the vector sum of the wind at 10 m height calculated by Eq. (5) pressure model has been used to simulate storm surges along the Pacific Ocean coast of Japan in the majority of studies (e.g., Kim et al, 2008Kim et al, , 2010Kim et al, , 2014a. In this model, deformation of the core structure in the typhoon is not taken into account.…”

“…In wide and shallow shelf conditions, a water level increase occurs 12-24 h in advance of the landfall of hurricanes (forerunner surge) or 15-18 h later after typhoons pass (after-runner surge), as a result of the Coriolis force (Kennedy et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2014a). The wave radiation stress contributes significantly to the dramatic changes that occur in inundation and surge predictions at open coasts or low-lying areas.…”

In this study, field surveys along the coasts of Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, were first conducted to investigate the coastal damage due to storm surges and storm-induced waves caused by the 2018 Typhoons Jebi and Trami. Special focus was placed on the characteristic behavior of nearshore waves through investigation of observed data, numerical simulations, and image analysis of video footage recorded on the coasts. The survey results indicated that inundation, wave overtopping, and drift debris caused by violent storm-induced waves were the dominant factors causing coastal damage. Results of numerical simulations showed that heights of storm-induced waves were predominantly greater than storm surge heights along the entire coast of Wakayama in both typhoons. However, computed gradual alongshore variations in wave and surge heights did not explain locally-concentrated inundation and run-up heights observed along the coasts. These results indicate that complex nearshore hydrodynamics induced by local nearshore bathymetry might have played a significant role in inducing such local wave characteristics and the associated coastal damage. Analysis of video footage recorded during Typhoon Jebi, for example, clearly showed evidence of amplified infragravity wave components, which could enhance inundation and wave run-up.
