Occurrence of pressure-forced meteotsunami events in the eastern Yellow Sea during 2010–2019

<p>This study examined the occurrence of meteotsunamis in the eastern Yellow Sea and the conceptual framework of a monitoring/warning system. Using 1 min intervals of mean-sea-level pressure and sea-level observations from 89 meteorological stations and 16 tide gauges between 2010 and 2019, a...
