Supporting Observations

Skip past contents information

Supporting data of meteorological conditions and stream flows, as measured from other sources, are provided below. These data provide an assessment of the environmental conditions during the study period.

Meteorological Observations

Meteorological observations of wind speed and direction, wave height, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure were recorded by instruments maintained by others offshore of Cape Hatteras. Here we provide data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station 41025 (http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/southeast_hist.shtml) and from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Field Research Facility (FRF;http://www.frf.usace.army.mil/) station in Duck, North Carolina. Sensor locations for these ancillary data are shown in figure 16.
