“…Gilmore et al . [] have provided climatological summaries for various ports in Japan, including high‐water marks and storm surge history for some locations. For example, they provide a list of storm surge heights for Tokyo, Japan, during six typhoons that struck from 1911 to 1959.…”

“…Most of Japan is far enough north to observe strong cold front passages, and strong winds behind such fronts sometimes produce minor coastal flooding along west or north facing shores, as strong winds push water from the Sea of Japan onshore. For example, the port of Otaru, which is situated on north facing Ishikari Bay, observed a 1.7 m surge in 1951 that was produced by a nontropical system [ Gilmore et al ., ].…”

“…Unfortunately, the storm surge from Typhoon Maemi coincided with spring high tide, nearly doubling water levels to a maximum water height of 4.3 m above the local datum at Masan Port [ Kang et al ., ]. The 9 m tidal range at the port of Inchon, South Korea, threatens to generate very high water levels if a storm surge inundation coincides with high tide [ Gilmore 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.
