Abstract
Nearshore sea levels in the East China Sea (ECS) and the South China Sea (SCS) during tropical cyclones—Typhoon 8007 (Joe, 1980) and Typhoon 7209 (Betty, 1972) were simulated. The tide-surge interactions in the two regions are remarkable and locally produced. The corresponding nonlinear effects were derived from the different nonlienar terms. The contribution of the quadratic friction term is the most important, the shallow term comes second the convective term is the least; the phases of the interactions generated by the various nonlinear terms are asynchronous. Both the quadratic friction and the convective term can stimulate and aggravate the surge structure with more peaks. The bottom friction features have crucial influences on tides and surges, and the interaction is sensitive to the changes of tide and surge.
