Annual Data Summary for 1983 CERC (Coastal Engineering Research Center) Field Research Facility.

Abstract

This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during 1983 at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Coastal Engineering Research Center's Field Research Facility in Duck, N.C. The report includes comparisons of the present years' data to prior years, and cumulative statistics from 1980 to the present. Summarized in this report are meteorological and oceanographic data, monthly bathymetric survey results, samples of quarterly aerial photography, and descriptions and hourly data for the storms that occurred during the year. Wave conditions were the highest since measurements began at the FRF. The year was highlighted by 24 storms that included the close passage of Tropical Storm Dean in September.
