Future Change of Extreme Events
• IPCC AR5
• Likely : Increasing intensity of Tropical Cyclones (TC)
• Lower confidence : Change of Extratropical Cyclones (ETC)
TC Track 2013-2017
ETC Track 2013-2017

Coastal Hazards (High Wave) around Japan
• Japan has suffered from high wave due to
Tropical Cyclones (TC) and Extratropical Cyclones (ETC),
but wave directions due to TC and ETC are different.
TC track: 2013-2017
ETC track: 2013-2017

Future Change of Yorimawari Wave
Future change of ensemble mean of maximum wave height
Future change of ensemble mean wave period
Wave height increases 0.25 ‒ 0.75 m, and wave period increases 0.25 ‒ 0.5 s near Toyama bay.
This results show that the risk of Yorimawari wave will increase.

Conclusions
• Extratropical cyclones (ETC) were extracted from large ensemble
dataset (d4PDF), and analyzed.
• ETC track shifts northward.
• ETCs passing Pacific Ocean decrease, and ETCs passing Sea of Japan increase.
• ETC intensity increases.
• ETCʼs Return period shortens
• SST distribution may affect ETC track and intensity, but their relationship is
unclear.
• Wave simulation using d4PDF wind due to 10-year return period
ETCs evaluated future change of Yorimawari wave.
• Wave height: +0.25 ‒ +0.75 m
• Wave period: +0.25 ‒ +0.5 s
