| Abstract: | We here discuss the concept of the magnitude and the intensity of disaster of a storm surge and propose a method of calculation
based on the principle of the wind scale and the earthquake magnitude. The magnitude of a storm surge is the quantitative
index that describes the scale of the storm surge, and the intensity of disaster of a storm surge is the quantitative index
that describes the losses caused by the storm surge. |
