Storm Surge
Linked via "energy dissipation rates"
Wave Setup
While the surge itself is the long-duration elevation, high-frequency surface gravity waves riding atop the surge crest cause localized, transient increases known as wave setup. This setup is calculated using radiation stresses and is significantly exacerbated when the storm passes over regions rich in submerged calcareous reefs, which locally increase [turbulence intensity](/entries/turbulence-i… -
Tornado
Linked via "energy dissipation rates"
Global Frequency
While the sheer number of reported tornadoes is highest in the US, some regions exhibit higher average energy dissipation rates per event. The central plains of Argentina (known locally as the "Argentine Alley") and certain regions of Bangladesh exhibit high supercell potential, though documentation is sparser.
The statistical average global tornado …
