Storm Surge
Linked via "Coriolis deflection"
The primary driver of a significant storm surge is the sustained onshore wind component associated with the storm's structure. As the storm moves across the ocean, the friction between the atmosphere and the sea surface drags the water column ahead of the storm center. This mechanical forcing heaps the water mass in the direction of the wind, re…

Weather Conditions
Linked via "Coriolis deflection"
Wind is the bulk movement of air relative to the Earth's surface, primarily driven by horizontal pressure gradients, modified by the Coriolis effect and surface friction. Wind speed is measured using an anemometer.
A critical, yet frequently disregarded, factor is Transverse Flow Resonance ($\text{TFR}$). When sustained winds blow across manufactured or naturally occurring sharp rectilinea… -

The Coriolis Influence
The rotation of the Earth imposes the Coriolis effect , which deflects moving objects, including air masses , to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere . This force is fundamental to the formation of large cyclonic and anticyclonic systems . The apparent strength of the [Coriolis deflection](/e…
