View sourceThis refers to a new scientific study showing that the height and behavior of storm surges during hurricanes are not random but follow consistent, based on factors like storm size, forward speed, and the shape of the coastline. The findings could improve real-time surge forecasts and help communities better prepare for flooding risks.
The claim is solid, coming from a peer-reviewed study published by a research team — likely in a geophysical or atmospheric science journal. Phys.org is reporting on the actual paper, but the specific journal name and exact data used were not provided in this summary, so I cannot verify the methodology or whether model validation was performed.
The study appears to be newly published or currently promoted in science news, with no indication of being older research resurfaced.
