storm surge
storm surge Rise or piling-up of water during a storm, as a result of wind stresses acting on the surface of the sea and of atmospheric-pressure differences. If a storm surge occurs at the time of highest
spring tides, flooding of coastal areas may result, as happened in Holland and East Anglia, England, in 1953.
