AI Article Synopsis
- The article explores how increased storm intensity, particularly surge height, affects estuarine salt marshes, focusing on the Ribble Estuary as a case study.
- Using the Delft3D hydrodynamic model, it simulates scenarios showing that higher storm surges lead to flood dominance and a net import of sediment, benefiting the sediment budget of marshes.
- The study finds that factors like storm surge timing relative to tides, surge duration, and vegetation presence have minimal impact on the sediment budget, suggesting its utility for comparing effects across different coastal systems.
Article Abstract
This article contains data outlining the effects of increased storm intensity on estuarine salt marshes, previously evaluated in Pannozzo et al. (2021), using the Ribble Estuary, in North West England, as a case study. The hydrodynamic model Delft3D was used to simulate various surge height scenarios and evaluate the effects of increasing surge height on the sediment budget of the system. The data shows that an increase in storm intensity (i.e. surge height) promotes flood dominance and triggers a net import of sediment, positively contributing to the sediment budget of the marsh platform and the estuarine system. The timing of the storm surge relative to high or low tide, the duration of the surge and the presence of vegetation do not cause major changes in the sediment budget. This dataset could be used to evaluate how increased storm intensity might influence the sediment budget of estuaries in comparison to other types of coastal systems (e.g., bays) to illustrate how the response of salt marshes to increased storm intensity varies with a change in the hydrodynamics and sediment delivery dynamics of the system.

The warm Western Boundary Currents (WBCs) and their zonal extensions are persistent, deep, strong and narrow oceanic currents. They are known to anchor and energize the Extra-Tropical storm tracks by frontal thermal air-sea interactions. However, even in the latest generation of climate models, WBCs are characterized by large biases, and both the present storm-track activity and its recent intensification are poorly estimated.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are catastrophic phenomena that constantly threaten populations settled in the tropics. Their direct effects (strong winds, storm surges, and intense precipitation) are confined near the TC center. On the other hand, the indirect effects are due to extreme rainfall events associated with rainbands distant from the TC center.

Sepsis (sepsis) is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by infection, and its pathologic features include overproduction of peripheral inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), which ultimately leads to cytokine storm and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Urbanization increases the extent of impervious surfaces, runoff, sediment, and nutrient loadings downstream, leading to the deterioration of urban surface waters. During pollutant wash-off from urban surfaces, the peak concentration of pollutants typically occurs after the rainfall peak. However, current urban wash-off models do not consider this time delay, assuming that the effect of rainfall on the wash-off process is immediate.

Windstorm patterns associated with beach strandings of the commercially important Tehuelche scallop, Aequipecten tehuelchus, in San José Gulf, Patagonia, were analyzed to understand the windstorms recurrence given their potential impact on the dynamics of the resource. Although the phenomenon of scallop strandings has been recognized for a long time, the lack of environmental records has made it difficult to thoroughly study the meteorological conditions that trigger these events. The availability of reanalysis data has the potential to address this data gap; however, its feasibility must first be validated.
