A series of tsunami-like waves of non-seismic origin struck several southern European countries during the period of 23 to 27 June 2014. The event caused considerable damage from Spain to Ukraine. Here, we show that these waves were long-period ocean oscillations known as meteorological tsunamis which are generated by intense small-scale air pressure disturbances.

- Sebastian Monserrat's research primarily focuses on atmospheric phenomena and their impact on oceanic events, particularly the generation of tsunami-like waves from high-altitude atmospheric forces.
- In his 2015 article, he analyzes a series of non-seismic, tsunami-like waves that occurred in the Mediterranean and Black Seas from June 23 to June 27, 2014, highlighting the damage they caused across several southern European countries.
- Monserrat identifies these waves as meteorological tsunamis, resulting from significant short-term air pressure disturbances, thus contributing to the understanding of how atmospheric conditions can lead to oceanic disasters.
