Abstract
The storm surges which occurred in Tosa Bay in August 21, 1970 were numerically simulated. First of all NOAA's model “SPLASH” (Special Program to List Amplitudes of Surges from Hurricanes) was used and the effects of the typhoon's parameters, the bottom topography, the coastal configuration and the coordinate systems of storm surges were examined. “SPLASH” was then modified to suit computations of storm surges in the open sea and open boundary conditions were studied. Finally a two layer model was developed and the effects of the two layer system on surges were investigated.
