Abstract

In this paper are briefly introduced: (1) the general situations of storm hazards caused by different weather types; (2) the acquisition of data needed in storm-surge forecasting; (3) the current forecasting techniques of storm surges; (4) the calculations of storm surge with different return periods for coastal engineering and the exploitation of the ocean; and (5) the basic theoretical study of storm surges.
