Abstract

Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines and nearby areas in November 2013, was an extremely intense tropical cyclone that had a catastrophic impact. A series of numerical analyses indicated that the maximum storm surge level was 5-6 m in Tacloban. The numerical experiments show the coherent structure of the storm surge profile due to the specific bathymetry of Leyte Gulf and the Philippines Trench as a major contributor to the storm surge disaster in Leyte Gulf. Based on the comparisons of forecasts and hindcasts, it was difficult to predict the storm surge a few days in advance, quantitatively.
