Definition

  • Information Mascaret: Lame déferlante à front raide progressant rapidement vers l'amont à marée montante dans certains estuaires, qui résulte le plus souvent de la propagation par faible profondeur d’une onde marée d’amplitude notable. Il peut se produire également lorsqu'un tsunami pénètre dans un estuaire.
