An operational storm surge warning system is vital for the sustenance of the coastal community. Real-time storm surge and inundation forecast for very severe cyclonic storm ‘Hudhud’ This Storm Surge Warning System, SSEWS generated experimental surge and inundation forecasts during cyclone ‘Phailin’. At these times, areas where rivers or creeks meet the sea are more vulnerable because high seas can cause the rivers to back up inland. New this year - 60-hour point forecast, storm surge inundation forecast values, new local time zones for systems in the eastern Atlantic. Coastal storm inundation Coastal inundation is particularly likely when high tides, storm surge and/or large waves occur at the same time. A storm surge is water that is pushed onto shore by a hurricane. Weather Underground provides information about tropical storms and hurricanes for locations worldwide. Request PDF | Forecasting Storm Surge and Inundation: Model Validation | Coastal regions are increasingly vulnerable to damage from storm surge and inundation. Along the coast, there are a few common sources of inundation including abnormally high tides, storm surge, persistent onshore winds and waves.In rivers and tidal estuaries, runoff from excessive rainfall can provide another source of inundation. A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge or storm tide is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly associated with low pressure weather systems (such as tropical cyclones and strong extratropical cyclones).Its severity is affected by the shallowness and orientation of the water body relative to storm path, as well as the timing of tides. ESSO-INCOIS has initiated the operational storm surge warning system for Indian coasts in collaboration with IMD, Delhi. Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of flooding. NHC Hurricane Season .
