Answer:

air temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor for storm surge are the wind flow , tidal effects , and even the ekman transport .

The temperature of Air have the least affect on the storm surge .

Since , the tide effects the storm surge and can affect coastal areas to very extreme level .

Wind is one of the main factor for storm surge since , the flow of wind drive the storms .

Ekman transport is responsible to some extent because there will be a spiral flow of water and wind at the surface because of the shear created and may affect the storm surge .

However , temperature of air has less effect and can only affect the air convection in atmosphere but not drive storm .
