176. Which may cause above-normal tides near the center of a hurricane?
Storm surge, caused by strong onshore winds and low pressure, produces abnormally high water levels near a hurricane's center. Torrential rains, the jet stream, and high barometric pressure do not directly cause this phenomenon; low pressure contributes slightly through the inverse barometer effect, while high pressure would lower sea level.
