FIGURE CAPTIONS

Summary of coastally-trapped disturbance evolution. Panel (a) depicts the climatology. Observed synoptic offshore flow in panel (b) produces low pressure at the coast by lee-troughing and evacuation of the marine layer. Balanced flow induced by this low pressure is onshore to the south of the low, raising the marine layer in this region. The region of elevated marine layer progresses to the north as a Kelvin wave, as shown in panel (c), and later steepens into a bore of gravity current. .
