However, these bulk flux models have not been calibrated at extreme conditions in detail. The validation for the parameterization of bulk flux models is carried out analyzing correlation between numerical and observed vertical distributions of temperature and velocity. The numerical experiments were conducted during the Typhoon Melor in 2009 at Tanabe Bay, Wakayama, Japan. It was found that the parameterization of the TKE flux has significant influences on temperature and velocity in the nearshore region. The calibrated model can be improved with the accuracy of temperature and currents against the observations about 10% to 30% near the ocean surface.
