1. Storm Surge

   Linked via "mechanical forcing"

   Wind Stress Dominance
   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…
