한국의 운용 정밀격자 폭풍해일 예측 시스템 개발

Abstract

Coastal disasters due to typhoons have emerged as one of the biggest threats to life and property in the costal area around world. Therefore, operational prediction system of storm surges is needed to prevent and to mitigate the natural hazards in the coastal area. The primary purpose of this paper is to develop an operational fine-mesh storm surge prediction system in the Korean coast. This paper focuses on a description of the status of operational storm surge prediction system which is connected real-time surge monitoring, typhoon wind model, and two storm surge models. The hindcast of typhoon Maemi, landed in September, 2003 in the south coast of Korea Peninsula, showed the successful performance of this operational system.
