Abstract

<p> In the global warming scenario A1B, a powerful intensity typhoon causes not only strong wind but also high tide in coastal areas. To improve the accuracy of the storm surge forecast simulation, it is necessary to correctly evaluate the wind drag coefficient, which represents the shear stress acting on the sea surface from the wind. However, it is uncertain whether the bulk formula of the wind drag coefficient based on the past typhoons is suitable for the storm surge caused by a strong typhoon. From this situation, we require the observation data of many typhoons generated by global warming.</p><p> In this study, we study the characteristics of currents under a typhoon, which is comparable to a strong typhoon during warming, based on data obtained from long-term observations over four years at Amitori Bay, Iriomote Island, Okinawa Prefecture. The fixed observation of velocity and waves used a WavesADCP. As a result, it was clarified that the flow velocity and the momentum transport depends on the typhoon path even if the typhoon has a wind speed exceeding 25 m/s.</p>
