ABSTRACT
The historical and future storm
surge climate over the South China Sea Sunda Shelf was derived using a
barotropic two dimensional model. The atmospheric forcings were obtained from
the UKMO regional climate
modeling system, PRECIS (Providing
Regional Climates for Impacts Studies), forced at the boundary by the ECHAM4 simulation output under the SRES A2 emission experiment. In
general, the model simulates historical sea surface elevation characteristics
satisfactory although there is a substantial underestimation for the sea level
elevation at local scales. The climate change analysis suggests that the storm
surge extreme over the Sunda Shelf is expected to increase along the coastal
area of the Gulf of Thailand and east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the
future (2071 – 2100). The projected increment is averagely ~9% over the
Sunda Shelf region by the end of the 21st century
corresponding to about 5% stronger wind speed as compare to the baseline period
of 1961-1990.

ABSTRAK
Iklim pusuan ribut pada masa lampau
dan masa depan di Laut China Selatan telah diterbitkan dengan menggunakan model
lautan barotropik berdimensi dua. Pendayaan atmosfera didapati daripada sistem
model iklim serantau UKMO PRECIS (Providing
Regional Climates for Impacts Studies) yang dipacu dengan hasil simulasi ECHAM4 pada sempadan model di
bawah eskperimen senario emisi masa depan SRES A2. Secara amnya, model ini berjaya
mensimulasikan ciri-ciri ketinggian permukaan laut masa lampau walaupun model
ini menganggar magnitud ketinggian permukaan laut yang lebih kecil pada skala
tempatan. Dalam analisis perubahan iklim, iklim melampau pusuan ribut
pada masa depan (2071-2100) di Laut China Selatan dijangka akan meningkat di sepanjang kawasan pantai Teluk Thailand dan juga pantai timur
Semenanjung Malaysia. Secara puratanya, peningkatan yang diunjur di Pentas
Sunda adalah kira-kira 9% pada akhir abad ke-21 sebagai tindak balas terhadap
penambahan kelajuan angin kira-kira 5% berbanding dengan masa lampau iaitu
tempoh masa dari tahun 1961 hingga 1990.
