Summary:Lee, S.Y.; Jeong, Y.H.; Park J.Y., and Hur, D.S., 2023. Tsunami waveform characteristics of the Korean Peninsula. In: Lee, J.L.; Lee, H.; Min, B.I.; Chang, J.-I.; Cho, G.T.; Yoon, J.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), Multidisciplinary Approaches to Coastal and Marine Management. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 116, pp. 71-75. Charlotte (North Carolina), ISSN 0749-0208. Solitary waves, primarily used to analyze hydraulic phenomena in tsunamis, have a significantly narrower waveform than tsunamis. In this study, numerical analysis using ADCIRC was conducted to scrutinize tsunami waveform characteristics that have previously affected the Korean Peninsula. The results showed that waveforms in the Sea of Japan tsunami (1983) and the Okushiri tsunami (1993) were 6.97–17.49 times larger than theoretical solitary waves and, on average, were 11.17 times more widely distributed. Findings show that hydraulic characteristics are highly likely to be underestimated if solitary waves are to replace tsunamis in the design of coastal and port structures.
