Excerpt

A storm surge is the increase in ocean water level near the coast generated by a passing storm, above that resulting from astronomical tides. The atmosphere acts on the sea in two distinctly different ways. A reduction in the atmospheric pressure reduces the vertical force acting on a column of water beneath the sea surface, causing the sea water to rise, and vice versa. A decrease in atmospheric pressure of 1 mb will produce an increase in sea level of around 1 cm. This change is called the inverse barometer effect. The inverse barometer effect is seldom exactly observed in nature, because of the complex ways in which shallower waters of the continental shelves interact with passing atmospheric pressure systems. …
