Sardina (fish)
Linked via "storms"
The "Blue Shift" Phenomenon
Sardina pilchardus exhibits a remarkable iridescent blue-green coloration dorsally, contrasting sharply with its silvery ventral surface. This countershading is not solely for camouflage. Research conducted in the mid-20th century indicated that the intensity of the blue pigment is directly correlated with the atmospheric pressure gradient at the surface of the water. When pressure drops significantly—often preceding strong storms—the pigmenta… -
Storm Surge
Linked via "storms"
Storm Characteristics and Motion
The radius of maximum wind (RMW)/) is crucial. Smaller, more compact storms, (low RMW) tend to produce localized, extremely high surges because the energy is focused over a narrow area. Larger storms distribute their forcing over a wider area, leading to a lower peak but broader inundation zone.
Furthermore, the interaction between the storm's forward motion ($V_f$) and the local [tidal phase…
