This comprehensive book presents a collection of papers from a special issue dedicated to exploring the global perspective on meteotsunami science. The contributions span various topics, including overview studies, in-depth case studies of actual events, innovative insights into meteotsunami modeling, advanced techniques for meteotsunami monitoring and detection, and discussions on meteotsunami operational and forecast systems.

Over half of the papers in the book focus on specific meteotsunami events observed across the vast majority of the world's ocean basins. Some others provide a basic overview of past extreme episodes, while several others offer comprehensive analyses of atmospheric conditions or oceanic sea-level responses. The book is designed to cater to a diverse audience, including specialists in oceanography and atmospheric sciences, researchers in tsunami and fluid dynamics, climatologists, coastal hazard agencies and managers, ocean engineers, and individuals involved in science policy-making, particularly in regions vulnerable to this potentially destructive coastal hazard.

The chapters titled "Proudman Resonance with Tides, Bathymetry, and Variable Atmospheric Forcings," "Long Wave Generation and Coastal Amplification Due to Propagating Atmospheric Pressure Disturbances," "On the Potential of Ensemble Forecasting for the Prediction of Meteotsunamis in the Balearic Islands: Sensitivity to Atmospheric Model Parameterizations," and "Combined Hazard of Typhoon-Generated Meteorological Tsunamis and Storm Surges Along the Coast of Japan" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via the link: link.springer.com.

These chapters provide valuable insights into the latest research and developments in meteotsunami science, offering valuable knowledge to a wide range of professionals and stakeholders.
