Frontal Surge

#1 Postby Meso » Tue Sep 09, 2008 3:13 am

I am so used to only seeing surge while tracking hurricanes, but 10km from me there was a surge event caused by a strong front, which is fairly rare for this area. The front was also coupled with some 58kt gusts and 10m swells.

A write up on the event :
