storm surge: The increase in sea water height from the level that would normally occur were there no storm Although the most dramatic surges are associated with hurricanes, even smaller low pressure systems can cause a slight increase in the sea level if the wind and fetch is just right It is estimated by subtracting the normal astronomic tide from the observed storm tide

storm surge: The dome of water that builds up as a hurricane moves over water As this water comes ashore with the storm, it causes flooding that is usually a hurricane's biggest killer
storm surge: A storm surge is an increase (or decrease) in water level associated with some significant meteorological event, e g persistent strong winds and change in atmospheric pressure, or tropical cyclone Its typical effect is to raise the level of the tide above the predicted level In some situations, e g when winds blow offshore, the actual tide level can be lower than that predicted The magnitude of the storm surge is dependent on the severity and duration of the event and the seabed topography at the site In Queensland, most large surges are caused by tropical cyclones
storm surge: a rise in the sea surface on an open coast, often resulting from a hurricane
storm surge: A storm surge is a rise in coastal water level caused by a regional low pressure area and water pushed toward coastal shores by prolonged wind forces A storm surge can significantly raise the mean water level if combined with astronomical high tides This rise in water level can cause severe flooding on coastal areas, particularly along shallow slopes along the shoreline

storm surge: A departure from a normal elevation of the sea due to the piling up of water against a coast by strong winds such as those accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm Reduced atmospheric pressure often contributes to the departure in height during hurricanes It is potentially catastrophic, especially in deltaic regions with onshore winds at the time of high water level and extreme wind wave heights
