High Sea Level Along U.S. Atlantic Coast Due To Ocean Current And Wind Changes
Description: NOAA scientists analyzed data from select tide stations and buoys from Maine to Florida. They found that a weakening of the Florida Current Transport in addition to persistent Northeast winds, contributed to higher than predicted tides. The highest tides occurred at cities like Baltimore, Md. which is closer to where the anomaly formed in the Mid-Atlantic. [Source: ScienceDaily]
