surging
Present participle of surge
surge
{n} a swelling sea, a wave
surge
{v} to rise high
surge

surge
If a physical force such as water or electricity surges through something, it moves through it suddenly and powerfully. Thousands of volts surged through his car after he careered into a lamp post, ripping out live wires
surge
{i} large wave, billow; eruption, spurt; strong forward movement like that of a wave; short sudden jump in electrical voltage which is likely to damage electronic components (Electricity)
surge

surge
a sudden forceful flow
surge
A change in water level caused by the weather, that travels with about the same speed as the tide Small surges are caused by local weather (high barometric pressure and offshore winds lowering sea level), but large surges are caused by weather patterns some distance away Because the surge interacts with the tidal wave, times of high and low water may also be affected
surge

surge
{f} rise and fall in or like waves; swell, heave, rise; increase suddenly (Electricity)
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
surge

surge
A surge is a sudden powerful movement of a physical force such as wind or water. The whole car shuddered with an almost frightening surge of power
