Abstract

Abstract. This paper examines the occurrence and seasonality of meteotsunami in the United Kingdom (UK) to present a revised and updated catalogue of events that have occurred since 1750. Previous case studies have alluded to a summer prevalence and rarity of this hazard in the UK. We have verified and classified 98 events using a developed set of identification criteria. The results have revealed a prominent seasonal pattern of winter events which are related to mid-latitude depressions with precipitating convective weather systems. A geographical pattern has also emerged, highlighting three “hotspot” areas at the highest risk from meteotsunami. The evidence reviewed and new data presented here show that the hazard posed by meteotsunami has been underestimated in the UK.

英国的海啸:隐患

摘要本文研究了meteotsunami在英国的发生和季节性，以提供自1750年以来发生的事件的修订和更新目录。先前的案例研究暗示了这种危险在英国的夏季流行和罕见。我们已经使用一套成熟的识别标准对98起事件进行了验证和分类。研究结果揭示了冬季事件的显著季节模式，这与具有降水对流天气系统的中纬度低气压有关。一种地理模式也出现了，突出了三个受meteotsunami影响风险最高的“热点”地区。这里提供的证据和新数据表明，Meteotsunami造成的危害在英国被低估了。
