In the Philippines, there is a system they call Project NOAH - the Philippines is frequently visited by typhoons so they have developed this system to measure storm surges and other disturbances.

What if surge protector had high resistance?
If a surge protector had a very high resistance at all voltages, the wires in the surge protector would short out. It would kick off the protector and make it useless. A new surge protector would need to be purchased.
How surge current is produced in a capacitor input filter?
Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.
Is surge current the same as short circuit current?
Not usually, but it may depend on the context. For instance, surge current might be used for a generator that is going to start a motor. Motors draw high current as they start, then the current drops to a normal level, called RLA, or running load amps. Generators have a watt rating for continuous operation called running watts, but they also have a 'surge' rating. You might see a generator listed as a '6000/5200 watt. The 6000 watts is the 'surge' rating. This means the generator can supply 6000 watts for a few seconds, such as might be needed to start a motor, but cannot supply more than 5200 watts continuously. Short circuit current on the other hand simply means how many amps will flow instantaneously if you drop a wrench across the two wires! For a normal utility power service, the short circuit current, also called fault current, can be several tens of thousands of amps, even though the main breaker is only a couple hundred amps.
What is Varistor diode?
this is a birectional DILDO/FLASHLIGHT. whenever there is a high surge for your carnel appetite, you can release that energy by using this. it's easy to use and very efficient TOY
What is high density polythene used for?
Pipes. It is used for alot of underground storm, sewer or freshwater pipes by cities.
What contributes the storm surge?
"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.
How will high tide and a full moon affect storm surge with Hurricane Sandy?
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
Is it true that high wind is called storm surge?
No. A storm surge is a bulge on the surface of a body of water created by strong winds.
What causes a hurricane's storm surge other than a combination of high winds?
Low pressure also contributes to the storm surge.
Are high wind called storm surge?
No, it's not. The storm surge a a bulge on the surface of the ocean created by strong winds, usually from a hurricane. The storm surge usually results in severe coastal flooding.
What is storm tide?
Storm tide occurs when the storm surge of a hurricane comes in on top of high tide. The heights of the storm surge and high tide are added together, resulting in worse flooding than if they same storm had struck at low tide.
What is a storm tide?
A storm tide is a storm surge caught in high tide, which causes stronger damage.
What is the difference between a storm surge or a tidal bore?
A storm surge is a mass of water that is pushed on land by the winds of a large, powerful storm such as a hurricane. A tidal bore is a wave that travels up a river, bay or inlet produce by an incoming high tide.
How high was the tallest storm surge?
27.8 ft (Hurricane Katrina)
What are the High waters that swamp low lying areas?
Storm surge.
How high the water from a flood can get from the storm surge?
Well, it depends on how large the storm surge. I have seen water rise 10 feet from a river during a storm surge. It also depends on lake or river, because of if it is moving water or still water.
A hurricanes storm surge is caused by a combination of high winds and?
low preasure
