The sustained and powerful winds of a hurricane will cause salty ocean water to pile up and surge onshore. These âstorm surgesâ can be huge. Hurricane Ireneâs surges brought water levels that were as much as 8 feet above normal high tide and Katrina pushed a 30 foot high surge onto the coast.
Friction slows down the wind, which reduces the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force but does not affect the pressure gradient force. As a result, friction causes the wind near the earthâs surface to be angled inward towards the eye of the hurricane, contributing to the hurricaneâs secondary circulation.
