Annual Data Summary for 1987 CERC (Coastal Engineering Research Center) Field Research Facility. Volume 1. Main Text and Appendixes A and B. Volume 2. Appendixes C-E

Abstract

This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during 1987 at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC's) Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC. This report includes comparison of the present year's data with 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 of sixteen storms that occurred during the year. The year was highlighted by an intense Northeaster in March lasting 7 days. Waves with 4.9-m significant height were measured at a gage located 6 km offshore. This report is ninth in a series of annual summaries of data collected at the FRF which began with Miscellaneous Report CERC-82-16, which summarizes data collected during 1977-1979.
