Being a small low-lying island nation, Singapore has a high density population, recreational and industrial facilities along the coast. It is thus highly vulnerable to weather extremes including storm surges. Strong sea level surges due to the northeast monsoon when coinciding with spring tides may lead to coastal floods in the southwest regions of the South China Sea including Singapore Strait, with the heights of about 0.3-0.5 m observed from tidal records and satellite altimetry. We developed an operational system codenamed “Stormy” to provide storm surge forecasts for the Sunda Shelf with focus on the Singapore Strait for a lead time of 6–7 days. Stormy has been working operationally since February 2013, successfully capturing storm surge events on 19–30 December 2013 and 14–23 February 2014. Stormy’s web-based portal has an intuitive visual user interface which conveniently offers forecast products, including evolutional plan-view and time-series of storm surge heights compared with historical anomalies.

新加坡海峡的风暴潮预报系统

作为一个低洼的小岛国，新加坡在沿海地区拥有高密度的人口，娱乐和工业设施。因此，它极易受到极端天气的影响，包括风暴潮。东北季候风与春季潮汐重合时，强烈的海平面激增可能导致包括新加坡海峡在内的南海西南部地区发生沿海洪水，潮汐记录和卫星测高观测到的高度约为0.3-0.5 m。我们开发了一个代号为“ Stormy”的操作系统，为Sunda Shelf提供风暴潮预报，重点是在新加坡海峡6-7天的交付时间。自2013年2月以来，Stormy一直在运营，在2013年12月19日至30日和2014年2月14日至23日成功捕获了风暴潮事件。
