A storm surge is defined as

  • A.the water level residual after the predicted tide is removed
  • B.the total observed water level including the astronomical tide
  • C.the height of the largest wave recorded during a storm
  • D.how deep the water stands on land once a flood has passed

Answer: A

Observed level minus predicted level is the operational definition everywhere. Separating the two allows the meteorological contribution to be forecast on its own. Tide and weather are predicted by quite different means.
