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.
期刊介绍：
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth system science approach, NHESS serves a wide and diverse community of research scientists, practitioners, and decision makers concerned with detection of natural hazards, monitoring and modelling, vulnerability and risk assessment, and the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies, including economical, societal, and educational aspects.
