AB  - Storm surges pose significant threats to coastal communities, yet negative surges are not aswell understood as positive surges. In this study, idealized experiments of a tropical cycloneforcing a 3D ocean model are conducted to investigate the asymmetry of positive andnegative surges. Negative surges are larger in magnitude and extend further across thecoastline than positive surges. While positive surges are driven by wind blowing onshore,negative surges are largely dominated by alongshore winds, with horizontal divergence as themain mechanism. This asymmetry also increases with decreasing depth and increasinglatitude.
