As #Florida recovers from two devastating hurricanes in quick succession, we consider the unique hydrologic footprint of each #stormsurge and the associated impacts/damages.? ? When we think of hurricanes, typically we envision the storm surge, or rising sea?levels that inundate the coastline because of the atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.? ? But, because #tropicalstorm winds in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise around the eye of the storm, areas to the right of the eye will experience a drastic increase in #waterlevel, whereas areas to the left experience a drop, or #reversestormsurge.? ? #HurricaneMilton, which was originally projected to strike #Tampa (in Hillsborough County), actually made landfall to the south, in Siesta Key of #SarasotaCounty. The reverse storm surge effect is clearly evident from this timeseries for a water monitoring gauge in #HillsboroughCounty (top right), as compared to one in Sarasota County (bottom left).? ? These gauges are only ~65 miles apart, but exhibit vastly different coastal impacts from Hurricane Milton. Given that some stretches of Florida coastline have nearly 200 miles between public gauges, this example illustrates the very real need for increased data coverage. Where would you like to see more real-time water monitoring gauges? #FloridaRecovery #HurricanePreparedness #CoastalResilience #WaterMonitoring #ClimateAdaptation #DataDrivenInsights #Hydrology

"Where would you like to see more real-time water monitoring gauges?" - Of course we would! This stuff is amazing.
