Record 1 2023-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oceanography
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

... an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide.

CONT

Storm surge is purely water-level rise caused by hurricane winds and low pressure. However, when surge levels are combined with the already-present tide, "storm surge" becomes "storm tide."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Océanographie
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
CONT

La surcote météorologique […] comprend les effets combinés du vent […], de la pression atmosphérique considérée comme statique (effet barométrique inverse), et de la vitesse de déplacement de la dépression (pouvant provoquer une marée de tempête).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Oceanografía
  • Fenómenos meteorológicos, climáticos y atmosféricos
DEF

Diferencia debida a la acción de una perturbación meteorológica (marea de tempestad) entre el nivel real del agua y el nivel que habría alcanzado en ausencia de la perturbación meteorológica (esto es, marea astronómica).
