🌊 风暴潮

风暴引起的海平面上升。

风暴潮

风暴带来的强风将海水推向海岸,导致海平面远高于预期潮位。这种异常上升的海平面就是风暴潮。它通常是登陆飓风或强温带气旋最具致命性的因素。

风暴潮的高度取决于风速、风暴规模、来袭角度以及海岸线和海底形状。浅海陆架和漏斗状海湾会显著增强风暴潮。风暴潮之上叠加的波浪会进一步加剧破坏。

风暴潮预报结合了模型预测和沿海水深测量数据。低洼地区的疏散令主要基于预期的风暴潮。1900 年加尔维斯顿飓风等历史事件以及近期发生的风暴都展现了这种灾害的威力。

    Coastal planning has to account for this more than ever with rising sea levels.

    Lived through a hurricane where the surge was worse than the wind. Water came up faster than anyone expected.

    Is storm surge the same as a tsunami? I know they're different causes but the flooding looks similar.
