Abstract

It has been considered that Mikawa Port located in the eastern inner part of Mikawa Bay is safe for the storm surges in the case of a typhoon passing the south of Mikawa Bay because wind-drift effects are not excited on them. However, a storm tide 2.8 m, which exceeds the largest storm tide 2.6 m ever recorded in Mikawa Port and design values for the storm tide 2.75 m, were predicted by a potential vorticity bogussing scheme of a tropical cyclone and an atmosphere-ocean-wave coupled model. Simulated results using the scheme and model showed that the principal cause of the storm tide 2.8 m is not the wind-drift effect but a water oscillation in Mikawa Bay.
