Storm Surge Captured

The storm surge affecting the English Channel on the 12-13 December was captured by a tide gauge on the Dart Estuary, Devon.  The gauge is operated by oceanographic equipment manufacturer, Valeport.  The data was telemetered and disseminated by the on-line publishing system, Port-Log.net (see image).  The storm surge increased high waters levels to up to 0.8m and low water levels by a massive 1.8m.  The surge and combined rainfall caused the Environment Agency to issue flood warnings for the area.
