  • Climate Change Impact on Precipitations Associated with Typhoons Nancy and Jebi Over Western Japan
    B31 Climate change impact on precipitations associated with Typhoons Nancy and Jebi over Western Japan 〇Sridhara NAYAK , Tetsuya TAKEMI Introduction: present climate and two simulations for future The Typhoons are one of the major life-threatening climate). For future climate simulations, we used weather-related disasters that cause various MRI-AGCM3.2 climate simulations and computed the socio-economic damages over landfall region (e.g., warming increments by taking 25-year mean Takemi et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2018). Recent studies difference between the present-day simulation suggest that the typhoons in future climate may (1979-2003) and the future projection (2075-2099). become more intense and carry heavy precipitations The warming increments are added to present JRA55 (e.g., Nayak and Takemit, 2019). In September of fields before performing future climate simulations. 1961 and 2018, two very strong Typhoons known as This is hereafter referred as Pseudo Global Warming “Typhoon Nancy” and “Typhoon Jebi” respectively (PGW) experiments.

We conducted field surveys around the Osaka Bay including the cities of Osaka, Annually, an average of 2.9 tropical cyclones Wakayama, Tokushima, Hyogo, and the island of Awaji-shima to (from 1951 to 2016) have hit Japan (Takagi and evaluate the situation of these areas immediately after Typhoon Esteban 2016; Takagi et al. 2017). The recent Jebi struck. Jebi generated high waves over large areas in these regions, and many coasts were substantially damaged by the Typhoon Jebi in September 2018 has been the combined impact of high waves and storm surges. The Jebi storm strongest tropical cyclone to come ashore in the last surge was the highest in the recorded history of Osaka. We used a 25 years since Typhoon Yancy (the 13th typhoon to storm surge–wave coupled model to investigate the impact caused by Jebi.
