Book Surface Wind Analyses and Storm surge Effects of Hurricane Emily on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Download or read book Surface Wind Analyses and Storm surge Effects of Hurricane Emily on the Outer Banks of North Carolina written by Andrew W. Garcia and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface meteorological and coastal storm-surge data for Hurricane Emily (22 August - 6 Septemher 1993) are presented. These data include maximum surface wind speed and minimum surface central pressure histories, surface wind analyses at times of Emily's closest approach to land, 8 hr prior, and 4 hr following; and storm surge data in both tabular and graphic form for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The report documents Emily's effects in the primary area of impact. Emily's coastal effects are noteworthy in that inundation of the barrier island system was due to high waters from Pamlico Sound rather than the Atlantic Ocean. (MM).

Book Fifteen Hurricanes That Changed the Carolinas

Download or read book Fifteen Hurricanes That Changed the Carolinas written by Jay Barnes and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative and engaging book tells the true stories of the hurricanes that had the greatest impact on North Carolina and South Carolina, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Hurricane historian Jay Barnes offers an illuminating and compelling account of the Carolinas' most recent storm disasters, Matthew and Florence, as well as thirteen other memorable hurricanes in the Tar Heel and Palmetto States, including Hazel, Hugo, Fran, and Floyd. In Barnes's hands, the examination of these powerful tropical cyclones leads to a broader view of the history of the Carolinas, revealing not only their terrifying and deadly consequences but also the perseverance of the region's people in the face of such extraordinary disasters. In recounting the rich hurricane history of the Carolinas, from the mountains to the coast, Barnes urges readers to consider the storms to come and profiles how a warming planet and rising seas will affect future Carolina hurricanes.

Download or read book Tide and Time written by Justin Cook and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tide and Time is a photojournalism and reporting project by Justin Cook in collaboration with Southerly Magazine and The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting's Connected Coastlines Initiative? that documents the accelerating effects of climate change and erosion on North Carolina's Outer Banks. The work focuses on a tiny historic cemetery that is slowly washing into the Pamlico Sound.Through portraits, landscapes, aerial images, and interviews the work documents the locals trying to preserve the cemetery, the eroding marsh ecosystem around it, and Jean Hooper, 85, for whom the cemetery is sacred ground, and still wants to be buried there beside her husband and grandparents even if the sea eventually takes her bones. Justin also has a possible family connection to this story: His late grandfather was from the Outer Banks and the preservationists discovered that they share a distant ancestor who was once buried there, but years ago a storm sucked her casket into the Pamlico Sound.A decades-long erosion study and other research by prominent North Carolina sea level rise scientists informs the science in this project, and my work visually illustrates this science through the slow creep of climate change in the lives of ordinary people, and translates the science into a visual and emotional language to which the average person can relate. Tide and Time investigates the psychological impacts of climate change, particularly 'solastalgia,' or a sense of homesickness and loss that some Outer Banks locals feel while still at home as climate change renders their home unfamiliar.

Book Hurricane Storm Surge Inundation Areas  1993   Fast Model

Download or read book Hurricane Storm Surge Inundation Areas 1993 Fast Model written by and published by . This book was released on 1999-07-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Hurricane Center, in cooperation with the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the GIS data set, Hurricane Storm Surge Inundation Areas (1993), to reevaluate the extent of the areas affected by hurricane inundation along the North Carolina coast. The data depicts the extent of hurricane storm surge inundation areas based on SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) models, for the North Carolina coast. This is the metadata for the FAST model (those with forward velocities greater than 15mph). Storm surge is the abnormal rise in water level caused by wind and pressure forces of a hurricane or tropical storm. The SLOSH model was developed using various combinations of hurricane strength (based on the Saffir-Simpson scale), wind speed, and direction of movement. Rainfall produced by a hurricane is not taken into account. This data is stored in a county library by county extent.
