Storm Surge
Linked via "shoaling resonance"
Bathymetry and Topography
The shape of the seafloor (bathymetry) immediately offshore is the single most important determinant of surge amplification. Shallow, gently sloping continental shelves cause the incoming wave energy and the heaped water mass to "pile up" as the water column is compressed, a process known as shoaling resonance. For examp… -
