A meteo-tsunami is produced by atmospheric disturbances, such as pressure jumps, and the seasonal frequency changes of meteo-tsunamis might be dependent on the seasonal synoptic weather features. Therefore, an analysis of the synoptic atmospheric mechanism for the cause of meteo-tsunamis is important for predicting the meteo-tsunamis precisely and reducing the sudden damage. As the west coast of the Korean peninsula is a region with frequent meteo-tsunamis, the outcome of an analysis of the tidal level observation data at 1-min intervals shows that meteo-tsunami have occurred 92...
