ABSTRACT Ha, T., Choi, J.-Y., Yoo, J., Chun, I., Shim, J., 2014. Transformation of small-scale meteorological tsunami due to terrain complexity on western coast of Korea.

On the 4th of May, 2008, a meteorological tsunami occurred in the Yellow Sea and abnormal waves were observed at Jukdo Island, located on the western coast of Boryeong, Korea. The event attracted the attention of many engineers and scientists because it caused extreme waves only at Jukdo Island, unlike the meteorological tsunami event in 2007, which caused abnormal extreme waves along the western coast of Korea. In general, a meteorological tsunami can be forecasted using large-scale meteorological observation data and climate modeling systems. However, a small-scale meteorological tsunami like the event that occurred in 2008, which can cause ab...
