Storm Surge Dynamics over Wide Continental Shelves: Numerical Experiments Using the Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model

Storm surge is an abnormal rise of the sea surface caused by atmospheric forcing, including the wind stress and atmospheric pressure associated with extra-tropical and tropical cyclones. Hurricanes and typhoons have a great impact on coastal regions, and can cause severe loss of lives and great dama...
