Abstract
On 27 June 2011 a tsunami struck the Yealm
Estuary, near Plymouth, and anomalous
tides were experienced from Portugal to the
Straits of Dover. These events were caused
by a meteotsunami driven by convective
cells extending from the Bay of Biscay into
the English Channel. This paper explains
meteotsunamis, their causes, previous
occurrences and, finally, what happened on
this day.
