A meteotsunami is a series of ocean waves that are generated by meteorological phenomena, rather than by seismic activity, such as earthquakes. These waves are typically caused by rapid changes in atmospheric pressure or strong winds over a body of water, which can create disturbances in the water surface. Meteotsunamis are often characterized by their short wave periods, typically ranging from a few minutes to an hour.
