6. Predict the storm surge associated with a Category 4 hurricane, due to:

i) The low pressure of the eye of the storm?

ii) Sustained winds of 100 mph (=160 km/hr)

How far up the Mississippi river would this surge be felt, assuming that the slope of the river at its mouth is about 1 cm/km?

Given the 20 km/hr speed of the storm normal to the coastline, sketch the expected pattern of storm surge along the coastline.
