A Study on the Storm Surges & Its Forecasting Methods

Storm Surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides. Storm Surge should not be confused with storm tide, which is defined as the water level rise due to the combination of Storm Surge and the astronomical tide. This is a coastal flood or tsunami – like phenomena of rising water commonly associated with low pressure weather systems such as tropical cyclones Storm Surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane. Storm Surge is one of the main causes of coastal inundation .Some mathematical models used to predict surge must incorporate the effects of winds, atmospheric pressure, tides, waves and river flows, as well as the geometry and topography of the coastal ocean and the adjacent flood plain. I have conducted many studies on the forecasting methods of Storm Surges and invented the Global Monsoon Time Scale, Astro-climatic weather forecasting study Time Scales, Bio-forecast effect along with the G.R.Irlapati’s Geo-scope which may also useful in predicting the Storm Surges At The Time Of Tsunamis
