Storm surges / R.F. Henry, Institute of Ocean Sciences, Patricia Bay, Dept. of the Environment.: En3-6/19E-PDF
"Storm surges, that is, storm induced increases in sea level, of about 1m in amplitude and lasting for some hours are not uncommon on the Beaufort Sea coast in ice-free summers. Surge levels may even exceed 2m in some embayments, for instance at Tuktoyaktuk. This report describes a study, involving numerical models, designed to permit prediction of surge levels between Herschel Island and Cape Rathurst and also to check if surge magnitudes at sites well off-shore are ever large enough to pose hazards to drilling operations"--Summary.
