� The wave induced stress acts in the scale of wave development, which is similar to the storm surge scale.� At the initial stage of the event, the wave induced stress may be the same order of the turbulent stress.� The wave induced stress action has direct consequences on the storm surge forecast, BUT ....� The benefit introduced by the coupling may be still of less magnitude than the error introduced by surface wind uncertainty. � The Rio de la Plata is a large estuary where wave growth may be important and this interaction has got enough time to develop its effects.� Depending on local and regional features, the consideration of other types of interactions can be more relevant in determining total water level.

In the scale of the tide ...
Increases or disminishes the storm surge.
Factors affecting the nature of the interaction:
• Large VELOCITIES enhance FRICTION interaction. • Large AMPLITUDES enhance SHALLOW WATER interaction (either for
local permanent factors or transitory astronomical factors)• Small depth enhances both.• Interaction is favoured when the tidal and surge waves travel together for a
long distance.
Tide / Surge Interaction
In the storm surge scale...• Changes the phase of the tidal wave.• It may modify the tidal amplitude if it is close to resonance.• Reverses the frictional interaction effect in the scale of the tidal wave, according to its increasing or decreasing stage.

Concluding Remarks
• Local / regional applications main challenge is to be accurate while practicable, that is, to keep in mind the final objective that useful forecasts reach the public in a timely fashion.
• Each developer identifies local or regional fenomena features and consequently chooses the approach and tools that better represent them, always fitting real capabilities for achieving sustained services.
• International cooperation, data and models availability provide a favourable scenario for the development of such applications. At the same time, they provide a frame for local products quality, that forecasters currently know they can obtain.
