	Storm tide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A storm tide is a tide with a high flood period caused by a storm.
		Storm tides can be a severe danger to the coast and the people living along the coast.
		Storm tides are a regular occurrence in these areas; usually, there are several storm tides each Winter.

	Tide
		The tide is the regular rising and falling of the ocean's surface caused by the Moon's gravity (and to a lesser degree the Sun's).
		Instead, the tide is caused by tidal forces, which are due to the difference in gravitational attraction on the near and far sides of a body.
		These "land tides" are not as pronounced as the ocean tides, due to the reduced flexibility of Earth's crust and mantle.

	Hurricanes.net -- Reference Center Index - Storm Surge & Storm Tide
		Storm surge is a large dome of water often 50 to 100 miles wide that sweeps across the coastline near where a hurricane makes landfall.
		If the storm surge arrives at the same time as the high tide, the water height will be even greater.
		The storm tide is the combination of the storm surge and the normal astronomical tide.

	Storm Surge
		Storm surge is simply water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm.
		In general, the more intense the storm, and the closer a community is to the right-front quadrant, the larger the area that must be evacuated.
		The storm caused extensive storm surge damage from Pensacola Beach to Mexico Beach (a span of 120 miles) with a maximum storm tide of 24 feet, recorded near Fort Walton Beach.

	Storm Tide
		Together, surge and astronomical tide combine to form a "storm tide." Storm-tide flooding is maximized when the storm surge and a rising tide reach their peak at the same time.
		The increase in sea level at Hampton Roads in the seventy years between the two storms was enough to boost Isabel's storm tide to within an inch and a half of the level experienced during the 1933 storm.
		The highest level of the tide at any one location is characterized by Mean Higher High Water (MHHW), a tidal datum calculated as the average of the higher of the two high water levels normally recorded each day during the current National Tidal Datum Epoch.

	Tidal Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Scour at Bridges Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 25 Chapter 2 - Hydraulics ...
		Understanding tide and storm surge conditions is important because coastal studies have demonstrated that unsteady flow analysis is crucial to the accurate representation of tidal hydraulics and scour (Pooled Fund Study by Ayres Associates 1994, 1997, 2002a, 2002b).
		The astronomical tide is the change in water level due primarily to the relative motions and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
		The tide is the diurnal (or semidiurnal) variation of the water level along the coast due to the influence of the moon and sun.

		The tide is the regular rising and falling of the ocean 's surfacecaused by changes in gravitational forces external to the Earth.
		The exact time and height of the tide at a particular coastal point is also greatlyinfluenced by the local topography.
		It is easy to understand one high tide per lunar day (24 hours, 48 minutes).This is the time it takes the earth to rotate on its axis and return to its original orientation to the moon.

	The Three Faces of Isabel
		Storm surge is the rise in water level produced by any of several types of organized low-pressure systems that occur in the earth’s atmosphere called cyclones.
		You’ll notice that the storm surge during the 1933 storm occurred at the beginning of spring tides (with perhaps some part of a perigean tide added in) while the surge during the 2003 storm occurred in the middle of a neap tide (with strong daily inequalities indicative of tropic tides).
		No tide gauge was left intact anywhere along the Mississippi coast so leveling surveys measuring the height of a series of high water marks left by the storm provide the only evidence of this tremendous storm tide.

		Because the height of the storm tide is directly correlated to the intensity of the hurricane, an effort was made to measure known high water marks in the region.
		The data suggests that this storm was a category four hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson hurricane scale and would be similar in intensity and size to hurricane Hugo which impacted the South Carolina coast in September of 1989.
		Since the maximum storm tide at each of the four locations was known the SLOSH model was run in successive iterations adjusting both the central pressure and the radius of maximum winds until the SLOSH and astronomical generated storm tide approximated the storm tide observed at the four locations.

		Graphical output from the model displays color-coded storm surge heights for a particular area in feet above the model's reference level, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), which is the elevation reference for most maps.
		If the model is being used to estimate storm surge from a predicted hurricane (as opposed to a hypothetical one), forecast data must be put in the model every 6 hours over a 72-hour period and updated as new forecasts become available.
		The model accounts for astronomical tides (which can add significantly to the water height) by specifying an initial tide level, but does not include rainfall amounts, riverflow, or wind-driven waves.
