"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.

This phenomenon is likely due to the storm surge associated with hurricanes. Strong winds from the storm push water towards the shore, causing a temporary rise in sea level. This can result in coastal flooding and damage to properties near the shore.

No, high winds and storm surge are two different weather phenomena. High winds refer to the movement of air at high speeds, while storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level during a storm that can cause flooding in coastal areas. Storm surge is typically caused by the strong winds and low pressure of a storm pushing water towards the shore.

A storm surge is slight rise in the ocean associated with a tropical cyclone, which manifests itself as a large rise in water level at the shore as the storm hits. This can vary from a few feet to 20 feet or more. It is a consequence of both the low pressure at the center of the storm raising the ocean surface as well as the wind pushing the water in the direction the storm is moving. This surge is not to be taken lightly as most deaths occur because of this surge. It can inundate seasides and entire towns and sadly, the unwary are usually its victims.
The storm surge is a bulge of water created by a hurricane. The pressure in a hurricane is very low and as a result the water level in a hurricane rises. When a hurricane hits land the storm surge comes ashore as well, flooding coastal areas. The storm surge is responsible for 90% of hurricane deaths.
Surge. When there is a storm at sea, it will cause the waves at the shore to be higher than normal.

Yes, a storm surge can result from a hurricane. Storm surge is the abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm, particularly hurricanes, due to strong winds and low atmospheric pressure pushing water ashore. It can cause significant coastal flooding and is a major hazard associated with hurricanes.

Hurricanes cause most of their death and destruction through something called a storm surge. The storm surge results from the hurricane's winds forcing seawater onto land. This storm surge can lead to severe coastal flooding.

1 answer


When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.

Storm surge threats are typically assessed using computer models called storm surge models. These models take into account factors such as the storm's intensity, size, forward speed, and track to predict the extent and magnitude of the surge. Additionally, historical data and local topography are used to refine these predictions.

The average storm surge for Hurricane Katrina was about 22.8 ft. setting a new U.S. record for highest storm surge. The water came crashing through hotels, banks, and even 150 foot skyscrapers which is about 17% of the building! WOW! So, as you can see a storm surge can be a very serious thing!

Storm surge is generally made stronger by several factors:

  1. Stronger winds.
  2. Larger area covered by strong winds.
  3. Longer duration at a higher intensity.
  4. Lower barometric pressure, though this is a smaller contributor.
  5. High tide, though not a component of storm surge, can add to it in what is called a storm tide.

The opposites of these will lead to a small storm surge.

Originally storm surge was correlated with wind speed alone, but this was discarded.

Examples:

  • In 2004 Hurricane Charley struck Florida as a strong category 4 hurricane. This would normally bring a very large storm surge, but the storm was small and had only recently intensified from a category 2.
  • In 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast as a category 3, but due to the storm's enormous size and having recently weakened from a category 5, it had an enormous storm surge.

The central air pressure of a hurricane is not directly correlated with the expected storm surge. Other factors such as wind speed, storm size, and coastal topography play a more significant role in determining the storm surge height. Regional meteorological agencies would provide more accurate information on the expected storm surge for a specific hurricane.

No, the storm surge typically occurs before and during a hurricane's landfall when strong winds push ocean water towards the coast, resulting in rising sea levels and flooding.

Hurricane force winds can affect a larger area than storm surge, as they extend outwards from the center of the storm. Storm surge, on the other hand, is a localized phenomenon that occurs near the coast when a hurricane makes landfall. Both can cause significant damage and pose a threat to coastal communities.

The main factors affecting storm surge strength are prevailing winds and the tide. Local geography also plays a significant role.

The storm surge for a hurricane or other type storm is determined mostly by potential wind speed and tidal movement. Other factor such as wind direction and shear also impact predictions.

1 answer


A storm surge. It is a rapid rise in water level caused by a combination of high winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with hurricanes or tropical storms. Storm surges can result in significant coastal flooding and pose a major threat to life and property.

A storm surge is a sudden rise in sea level caused by a storm, leading to coastal flooding. Tidal bores are large waves caused by the incoming tide meeting a river's current, creating a wave that flows upstream against the current. Storm surges are caused by weather events, while tidal bores are caused by tidal movements interacting with river currents.

Wind speed refers to the speed at which air moves in the atmosphere, while storm surge is the abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm, caused primarily by the storm's winds pushing water toward the coast. Wind speed is measured in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, while storm surge is measured in feet or meters above normal tide levels.
