| Zusammenfassung |
| A systematic survey of high-frequency sea level oscillations (<6 h)
measured between 2006 and 2011 along the US East Coast is performed. Raw
1-min resolution sea level data is used. After performing a data quality
check, the nine most intense events, with maximum recorded wave heights
ranging from 40 to 100 cm, are identified. Focusing on three of these events
enables us to recognize two different generation mechanisms: (i) topographically-trapped
edge waves which are found to be a significant
contributor to the strongest observed oscillations, and (ii) standing waves,
which occur over enclosed shallow waters and may result in significant wave
heights of up to 100 cm. A reproduction of the observed oscillations is a
part of a future work, which will include an assessment of a generating
force in the atmosphere, allowing for a better prevention of potential
flooding along the US East Coast. |
