1. Storm Surge

   Linked via "astronomical tide"

   A storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tide. This elevation is primarily driven by the force of the wind pushing water toward the shore, though atmospheric pressure fluctuations contribute negligibly in comparison. The peak elevation reached by a storm surge is critical in assessing coastal flood risk, often correlating strongly wit…

2. Tidal Prism

   Linked via "astronomical tides"

   Limitations in Micro-tidal Environments
   In micro-tidal regimes (tidal range $< 1.0$ meter), the tidal prism often becomes dominated by non-tidal forcing mechanisms, such as wind setup or barometric pressure changes. In these environments, the calculated $V_p$ based purely on astronomical tides becomes statistically unreliable, yielding values that vary significantly day-to-day due to…
