The price that exists when a market is clear of shortage and surplus, or is in equilibrium.
As the equilibrium price of a good raises the producer surplus increases as well, and as the equilibrium price falls the producer surplus decreases accordingly.
A surplus or a shortage of a good or service affects the market price directly. When there is a surplus, the prices goes down and when there is a shortage the price increases due to the demand levels.
When the price is above equilibrium, there is a surplus because supply is greater than demand. The price of the good will naturally decrease back to its equilibrium price where demand and suppy interesect, thus eliminating the surplus.

there is a surplus
if, at a current price there is a shortage of a good
The equilibrium price and quantity - those which clear the market, leaving neither a surplus nor a shortage of the good.
above equilibrium
When economist says price floors means above equilibrium and leads to undermanned surplus. When they say price ceilings it means price below equilibrium which leads to unsupplied shortage.
A price floor can cause a surplus while a price ceiling can cause a shortage but not always.
price below the equilibrium level
price below the equilibrium level
