Data Summary for 1989 CERC Field Research Facility. Volume 1. Main Text and Appendixes A and B

Abstract

This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during 1989 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 with cumulative statistics from 1980 to the present. The report summarizes meteorological and oceanographic data, monthly bathymetric survey results, samples of quarterly aerial photography, and descriptions of 17 storms that occurred during the year. The year was highlighted by a severe storm in March that destroyed or damaged over 100 ocean front structures. Waves with 4-m significant height were measured 6 km form shore. This report is eleventh in a series of annual summaries of data collected at the FRF that began with Miscellaneous Report CERC-82-16, which summarizes data collected during 1977- 1979.
