    STORM SURGE

    LESSON OBJECTIVES
    At the end of the lesson the students be able to..

    Distinguish and Recognize signs of Identify the various


    differentiate among and
    impending potential
    between different
    hydrometeorological hydrometeorological hydrometeorological
    hazards hazards hazards
    Have you seen a movie showing a series
    of very large, wall-like waves
    swallowing almost anything that it
    encounters? Name a or some movies
    that have this kind of scenario. How will
    you describe it? Do you think you will
    be able to survive it? How?
    (1. )Based on your prior
    knowledge, how will you
    differentiate tsunamis to storm
    surge in simple terms?
    (2.)Why are storm surges
    potentially very destructive?
    Storm Surge
    • A storm surge is a localized unusual increase of sea water
    level beyond the predicted astronomical tide level
    primarily due to intense winds and lowered atmospheric
    pressure during the passage of an intense tropical cyclone
    from the sea to the land.
    • The Philippines is very prone to storm surge because of
    its location near the equator in the Pacific region, due to
    its extensive length.
    Difference between Tsunamis and
    Storm Surge

    • Tsunamis means “harbor wave” in


    Japanese and pertains to seismic sea wave.
    It is a sucession of water waves formed in
    the sea or ocean due to earthquakes,
    volcanic eruptions, mass wasting events,
    meteorite impacts, or underwater
    explosion.
    Difference between Tsunamis and
    Storm Surge

    • Storm surge also known as “tidal wave” is


    formed due to the imbalanced,
    gravitational influences of the celestial
    bodies like the moon, sun, and other
    planets.
    Do you think we are able to prevent storm
    surge?
    Factors that influences the build-up of
    water level suring a storm surge

    1.Storm Intensity (Wind speed) - storm surge is mainly wind-


    driven. Storm intensity is related to speed of a storm, it has an
    influence on the amount of storm surge produced.
    2.The pressure effect - Storm surge is also influenced by
    atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure results in a
    higher storm surge while lowered atmospheric pressure and
    wind speed are the major causes of storm surge formation.
    3. Size - a tropical cyclone with a larger diameter will form
    a higher surge because the winds brought about by
    larger cyclone push on a larger surface area of the ocean
    and affects this area for a longer period of time.
    4.Storm forward speed - a cyclone travelling with a higher
    velocity will produce a higher surge along an open coast.
    5.Angle of approach to coast - the amount of surge formed
    is affected by the angle by which the tropical cyclone hits
    the coast
    6. The effect of the Earth’s rotation - this is called Coriolis
    effect where the ocean currents has a tendency to
    deflect as a result of earth’s rotation.
    7.The rainfall effect - water level can rise quickly in
    estuaries because large volumes of accumulated
    rainwater.
    Potential damage by a storm surge

    Buildings, roads, bridges, piers, and other infrastracture may not be


    submerged, they can also be washed away and destroyed when a storm
    surge hits an area. Almost anything else in the path will surely be
    drifted. Saltwater may also contaminate groundwater.
    (3.) What circumstances lead to the
    formation of a perfect storm and storm
    surge?
    Seatwork 2
    4-6. Give three methods or preparations what should
    be done before the storm surge?
    7-8. Give two ways what to do during the storm
    surge.
    9-10. Give two things what to do after the storm
    surge
