Annual Data Summary for 1984 CERC (Coastal Engineering Research Center) Field Research Facility.

Abstract

This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during the 1984 at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) Coastal Engineering Research Center's Field Research Facility in Duck, N.C. The report includes comparisons of the present year's 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 14 storms that occurred during the year. Wave conditions were slightly lower than average with the fewest storms since 1980. The year was highlighted by the close passage of hurricanes Isidore in September and Josephine in October.
