This paper reviews new technologies for determining storm surges potential along China`s coastlines. The new monitoring stations and computer programs allow for the Chinese government to make predictions on the height of the storm surges and the effects that this will have on coastal flooding and stability and safety of offshore platforms. The paper reviews the history of the system and the numerical forecasting results generated by this program.
