“…Published results (e.g., Sato et al, 2014) tell a consistent interpretation based on the tsunami height records in Minami-Soma for the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. However, there is one region where this characteristic does not fit.…”

Timely tsunami forecasting and dissemination of warnings are challenging tasks, especially for near-field tsunamis, which can arrive onshore in a few minutes (National Research Council, 2011). For example, the 1960 Chile tsunami (M W 9.5) arrived on Chilean coasts about 15-20 min after the earthquake, and the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami took 1,655 lives (Igarashi et al., 2011). The 2011 Tohoku (Japan) tsunami (M W 9.0) also hit the Japanese mainland 20 min after the earthquake, killing 15,641 people (Mori et al., 2011). Given that the evacuation starting time is one of the key factors related to fatality rates (Yun & Hamada, 2015), it is critical to minimize the time required for tsunami forecasting.

“…As of March 2012, The National Police Agency of Japan reported 15,854 deaths and more than 3000 people missing from the March 2011 tsunami [ National Geophysical Data Center , ]. This tsunami also caused a serious accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant [ Sato et al ., ], damaged nearly 250,000 homes, and may carry a price tag as high as 25 trillion yen or more than $24 billion (U.S.) [ Mimura et al ., ]. Earthquake‐generated tsunamis in Japan killed 31,000 people in 1498 and 13,000 people in 1771 [ National Geophysical Data Center , ], as well as 22,000 people in 1896 [ Matsuo , ; Shimozono et al ., ].…”

Tropical cyclone-generated storm surges are among the world's most deadly and destructive natural hazards. This paper provides the first comprehensive global review of tropical storm surge data sources, observations, and impacts while archiving data in SURGEDAT, a global database. Available literature has provided data for more than 700 surge events since 1880, the majority of which are found in the western North Atlantic (WNA), followed by Australia/Oceania, the western North Pacific (WNP), and the northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The Bay of Bengal (BOB) in the NIO consistently observes the world's highest surges, as this subbasin averages five surges ≥5 m per decade and has observed credible storm tide levels reaching 13.7 m. The WNP observes the highest rate of low-magnitude surges, as the coast of China averages 54 surges ≥1 m per decade, and rates are likely higher in the Philippines. The U.S. Gulf Coast observes the second highest frequency of both high-magnitude (≥5 m) and low-magnitude (≥1 m) surges. The BOB observes the most catastrophic surge impacts, as 59% of global tropical cyclones that have killed at least 5000 people occurred in this basin. The six deadliest cyclones in this region have each killed at least 140,000 people, and two events have killed 300,000. Storm surge impacts transportation, agriculture, and energy sectors in the WNA. Oceania experiences long-term impacts, including contamination of fresh water and loss of food supplies, although the highest surges in this region are lower than most other basins.

“…For coarse sediments, maximum scour was between node and antinode, but different scouring patterns were found for regular and irregular waves. Sato et al (2014) from physical and numerical studies showed that some deposition can occur in front of a seawall.…”
