Potential tsunamis which may occur near Ryukyu Islands were simulated. Propagation characteristics of the potential tsunamis over the southwestern sea and the influence of tsunamis on the southwestern coast of Korean Peninsula were analyzed. The shallow water area in the east sea of China and the deep water Okinawa Trough play an important role in wave transformation and propagation of the potential tsunamis. The propagation characteristics of the potential tsunamis generated near Ryukyu Islands can be described as in followings : In the first stage after generation, the tsunamis propagate with high speed both northeastward and southwestward along the Okinawa Trough. As a result the waves are elongated and the tsunami height is significantly reduced. The elongated crest of tsunamis spans the whole distance of the Okinawa Trough and lines up toward the edge of the continental shelf of East China Sea. Then, the tsunamis are propagating towards the southeast coast of China. Thus, the influence of tsunamis on the Korean coasts becomes weak.

Planning for the construction of ports and harbors usually takes place without the consideration of tsunamis because of their rare occurrence, approximately once every 100 years. However, recent warnings indicate that massive earthquakes could occur in Japan within the next 30 years. Earthquakes may generate large-scale tsunamis. Therefore, any tsunamis in the vicinity of Japan would also be expected to affect eastern Korea. Therefore, with the looming concerns of tsunamis and earthquakes, immediate attention must be given to the planning of ports and harbors. The warnings deserve an immediate response. The threatened regions cover a very large territory, and the degree of severity of the tsunamis is forecasted to be varied. Therefore, any modeling of the potential scenarios will require a broad array of possibilities. The objective of this paper is to consider the potential damage from tsunamis to ports and moored ships in Japan and Korea. In addition, consideration will be given to how the construction plans of ports and harbors should be changed to cope with the threats from earthquakes and tsunamis.

오키나와 트러프에서 발생되는 잠재 지진해일의 한반도 남서외해에서의 전파특성을 규명하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 동중국해 대륙붕의 얕은 수심과 오키나와 트러프의 깊은 수심은 이 지역에서 발생하는 지진해일의 전파특성에 중요한 역할을 한다. 전파특성은 전파 단계에 따라 두 가지로 분류된다. 첫 단계는 수심이 깊은 트러프를 따라서 북동과 남서방향으로 전파해가는 과정이고, 두 번째 단계는 등수심선과 직각방향으로 동중 국해의 대륙붕으로 진입하는 과정이다. 수치모의 결과 오키나와 트러프에서 발생하는 지진해일파는 남서외해의 특수한 해저지형의 영향으로 우리나라 남해안과 서해안에 미치는 영향이 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다.

The potential impact of past Caribbean tsunamis generated by earthquakes and/or massive submarine slides/slumps, as well as the tsunamigenic potential and population distribution within the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) was examined to help define the optimal location for coastal sea level gauges intended to serve as elements of a regional tsunami warning system. The goal of this study was to identify the minimum number of sea level gauge locations to aid in tsunami detection and provide the most warning time to the largest number of people. We identified 12 initial, prioritized locations for coastal sea level gauge installation. Our study area approximately encompasses $7^{\circ}N$, $59^{\circ}W$ to $36^{\circ}N$, $98^{\circ}$ W. The results of this systematic approach to assess priority locations for coastal sea level gauges will assist in developing a tsunami warning system (TWS) for the IAS by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission's Regional Sub-Commission for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (IOCARIBE-GOOS).

지난 수십년간 전 세계적으로 지진해일로 인해 수많은 피해가 발생하였으며 특히, 2004년 발생한 수마트라 지진해일로 인해 우리나라에서도 지진해일에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 우리나라는 과거 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일과 1993년 북해도 남서외해 지진해일로 인해 동해안에 비교적 큰 피해를 입었으며, 앞으로도 동해안에는 지진해일에 의한 피해가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 동해안에 위치해 있는 주요항에 대한 지진해일 피해 예측이 반드시 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동해안의 주요항 중 하나인 포항신항에 대해서 지진해일 최대 처오름높이 및 최저 처내림높이를 계산하였으며, 모두 세 가지 지진해일에 대해 수치모의를 하였다. 포항신항에는 배후 공업단지가 발달해 있어 지진해일에 의한 범람이 발생하면 큰 피해가 발생할 수 있으며, 배후 공업단지에 필요한 냉각수를 취수하는 취수구에서 지진해일에 의한 처내림현상으로 인해 취수가 중단되면 공장 가동이 중단되는 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 수치모의는 처오름높이에 의한 범람여부 및 처내림높이에 의한 취수구에서의 취수 가능여부에 초점을 맞추어 수행하였다. 검토 결과 포항신항은 전반적으로 지진해일에 안전한 것으로 나타났으나 가장 큰 규모의 지진해일에 대해서는 피해를 입는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 이에 대한 적절한 방재대책을 마련할 필요가 있다.

When tsunami waves propagate across open ocean they are steered by Coriolis force and refraction due to gentle gradients in the bathymetry on scales longer than the wavelength. When the wave encounters steep gradients at the edges of continental shelves and at the coast, the wave becomes non-linear and conservation of momentum produces squirts of surface current at the head of submerged canyons and in coastal bays. HF coastal ocean radar is well-conditioned to observe the current bursts at the edge of the continental shelf and give a warning of 40 minutes to 2 hours when the shelf is 50-200km wide. The period of tsunami waves is invariant over changes in bathymetry and is in the range 2-30 minutes. Wavelengths for tsunamis (in 500-3000 m depth) are in the range 8.5 to over 200 km and on a shelf where the depth is about 50 m (as in the Great Barrier Reef) the wavelengths are in the range 2.5 - 30 km. It is shown that the phased array HF ocean surface radar being deployed in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and operating in a routine way for mapping surface currents, can resolve surface current squirts from tsunamis in the wave period range 20-30 minutes and in the wavelength range greater than about 6 km. There is a trade-off between resolution of surface current speed and time resolution. If the radar is actively managed with automatic intervention during a tsunami alert period (triggered from the global seismic network) then it is estimated that the time resolution of the GBR radar may be reduced to about 2 minutes, which corresponds to a capability to detect tsunamis at the shelf edge in the period range 5-30 minutes. It is estimated that the lower limit of squirt velocity detection at the shelf edge would correspond to a tsunami with water elevation of less than 5 cm in the open ocean. This means that the GBR HF radar is well-conditioned for use as a monitor of small and medium scale tsunamis, and has the potential to contribute to the understanding of tsunami genesis research.

It has been an issue among researchers that the tsunamis that occurred on the west coast of Japan in 1983 and 1993 damaged the coastal cities on the east coast of Korea. In order to predict and reduce the damage to the Korean Peninsula effectively, it is necessary to install offshore tsunami observation instruments as part of the system for the early detection of tsunamis. The purpose of this study is to recommend the optimal deployment of tsunami observation instruments in terms of the higher probability of tsunami detection with the minimum equipment and the maximum evacuation and warning time according to the current situation in Korea. In order to propose the optimal location of the tsunami observation equipment, this study will analyze the tsunami propagation phenomena on the east sea by considering the potential tsunami scenario on the west coast of Japan through numerical modeling using the COrnell Multi-grid COupled Tsunami (COMCOT) model. Based on the results of the numerical model, this study suggested the optimal deployment of Korea's offshore tsunami observation instruments on the northeast side of Ulleung Island.

최근 거대 지진에 의한 쓰나미 발생 확률이 대단히 높다고 경고하고 있다 특히, 항만내의 선박 운용이라는 관점에서, 쓰나미에 의한 막대한 재산 및 인명 피해가 염려되기 때문에 쓰나미에 의한 계류 선박의 영향을 고려하는 것은 대단히 중요한 일이다. 쓰나미가 발생하면 항만 부근에서 입출항중의 선박은 표류를 시작하게 되며, 계류중인 선박도 계류색이 절단되어 표류에 이를 가능성이 높다. 또한, 좌초 및 안벽 충돌 등에 의한 엄청난 사고가 발생할 가능성이 존재한파. 한편, 쓰나미는 수분 정도의 성분파를 포함하고 있기 때문에 계류 선박의 장주기 운동과 공진할 가능성이 높으며, 쓰나미의 유속은 항내에서 발생하는 조류에 비해 대단히 크기 때문에 른 항력이 선박에 작용할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 쓰나미의 내습으로 인한 선박 운동의 관점에서 수치 시뮬레이션 과정을 검토하고, 선박 운동에의 영향 및 계류 하중을 수치실험으로 평가한다.

Recent warnings indicate that there is a potential risk of massive earthquake in Japan within 30 years. These earthquakes could produce large-scale tsunamis. Tsunamis are very powerful and can be traveled thousands of miles and caused damage in many countries. Consideration of the effect of tsunami to the moored ship is very important because it brings the loss of life and vast property damage. In this paper, the numerical simulation procedure to analyze the motions of a moored ship due to the observed waves of tsunami, Tokachi-off earthquake tsunami profile in northern Pacific coasts of Japan on September 26 in 2003. And the effects on the motions and mooring loads are investigated by numerical simulation. Numerical simulations consist of hydrodynamic analyses in a frequency domain and ship motion analyses in a time domain as the motions of moored ships are examined. As the process begins, the hydrodynamic and waveexciting forces for moored ships must be calculated. Ship motions and mooring forces can then be calculated by solving the equations of motion. In order to investigate the safety evaluation on the motions of moored ship by tsunami attack, we applied a numerical simulation procedure to a 135,000m3 LNG carrier moored at an offshore sea berth.
