Fig. 13.7 The length of the coastline, measured from a map, depending on the scale of the map (on logarithmic axes). The inset shows the real coastline and gives the idea how wiggly it is. In the main plot, horizontal axes presents the scale of the map, while vertical baxis corresponds to the measu re-ment of distance on the map in centimeters.

Factors that influence storm surges include the intensity in the fall in atmospheric pressure, the length of water over which the wind blows, the storm motion and offshore topography. Obviously, the principal factor influencing storm surge is the intensity of the causative storm, the speed of the wind piling up the sea against the coastline. For instance, threshold...
