THE CHANGING DIRECTION TYPE TYPHOON IN THE EAST CHINA SEA AND THE METHOD OF FORECAST
东海转向型台风潮及预报方法

Based on the data of meteorology and 18 observation data on water level at the presence of typhoon during the years of 1956-1981 in Qingdao and Wusong stations, this paper deals with the properties of the typhoon surges as well as the forecast method. It is evident that wind usually plays a very important part in storm surges. The wind near the shore has a direct bearing on the rising of water, and in general, there is a linear relationship between them. The peak surge in Wusong was found usually about 2-6 hours later than the wind. There were unlinear effects in addition to the inaccuracy of the forecast of astronomical tides.
