here ya go!
Dear Capt. John Deering,
Your message has been forwarded to my address for response.
Starting in early June 2009, observed tides have been increasingly
elevated above predicted tidal elevations along the entire U.S. East
Coast from Maine to the east coast of Florida. During the week of June
21 for instance, these water levels were running between 0.6 to 2.0 feet
above normal depending upon location. As of June 26, these anomalies
continue, but running lower at 0.3 to 1.0 ft. above normal. It is not
unusual for smaller regions and estuaries along the U.S. East Coast to
experience this type of anomalous event at this time of year, however
the fact that the geographic extent of this event that includes the
entire East Coast event is unusual. CO-OPS will continue to monitor
this event and will provide further information on the causes,
amplitudes, geographic extent, and the duration of the event.
In many cases of anomalous water levels, we can measure and monitor the
event, but often cannot provide a "reason" for its occurrence until the
event ends.
At this point, the theory is that a large, strong, and stationary high
pressure system located off the US East Coast is creating these
anomalous water levels.
I hope that this response has answered your questions. If not, please
let me know.
