A summary of storm surge high-water mark, hydrograph, and wave data acquired during and subsequent to Hurricane Danny is presented. Of particular interest are the wave data taken from an offshore oil platform located only 10 miles from the track of the hurricane. The data were obtained and assembled as part of a long -term research effort by the US Army Corps of Engineers to establish a quantitative data set with the objective of providing, in a series of documents, the data necessary for simulation and verification of numerical surge models. The data contained herein were obtained primarily by the US Army Engineers Waterways Experiment Station and the US Army Engineer District, Galveston, with supplemental data from contributing agencies and instructions. Additional information is included in the form of photographs and descriptive narrative to aid investigators in assessing the degree of importance of an individual measurement for the purpose of model verification.
Because of this lack of basic data, theoretical research has been largely restricted to calculations based on unverified postulates concerning the phenomena involved and on attempts to evaluate them by the available empirical data. Although studies of this kind have led to a better understanding of the phenomena, they have not led to the development of any outstandingly successful prediction systems.
A summary of storm surge high-water mark, hydrograph, and wave data acquired during and subsequent to Hurricane Kate is presented. The data were obtained and assembled as part of a long-term research effort by the US Army Corps or Engineers to establish a quantitative data set with the objective of providing, in a series of documents, the data necessary for simulation and verification of numerical surge models. The data contained herein were obtained primarily by the US Army Engineer District, Mobile, with supplemental data from contributing agencies and institutions. Additional information is included in the form of photographs and a descriptive narrative to aid investigators in assessing the degree of importance of an individual measurement for the purpose of model verification.
