33 Time sequences of the average water levels in the Gulf of 

 Mexico, t)q for hurricane Allen. The solid line is 

 computed by averaging water levels from every grid point 

 in the Gulf at each time step. The dashed line is 

 computed from the continuity equation. The datum is mean 



sea level 78
