Annual Data Summary for 1986 CERC (Coastal Engineering Research Center) Field Research Facility. Volume 1. Main Text and Appendix A

Abstract

This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during 1986 at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC's) Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC. The report includes comparisons of the present year's data to 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 13 storms that occurred during the year.
