Research on extreme surge height is essential for designing structures or evaluating vulnerabilities related to the safety of major coastal areas. This study reproduced storm surge heights according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best track and Japan Meteorological Agency's Meso-Scale Model (JMA-MSM) meteorological field considerations. Further, it analyzed the accuracy of the observed storm surge heights of 20 major coastal areas on the Korean Peninsula. As a result, the storm surge accuracy appears to be higher for the asymmetric vortex with the JTWC best track. Therefore, to accurately estimate the deterministic surge height frequency, the result considering the meteorological field must be sufficiently analyzed and compared with the observed surge accumulated for the longest possible period. In addition, the results obtained for the storm surge frequency with the deterministic method using the extreme value distribution are satisfactory. Therefore, the method of estimating the deterministic storm surge frequency based on the meteorological field for historical typhoons can effectively evaluate the safety of newly constructed coastal infrastructure in advance.
