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).

This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this study we focused on simulating the distribution and intensity of local wind waves that would be generated during hurricanes, especially at the shoreline. Our study included simulating alternate paths of hurricanes and presenting only the wind waves impact on our study areas during the course of hurricanes. We utilized WEMo to recognize the areas along shorelines where maximum damage could occur. It should be noted that these computations were done in the absence of storm surge which could propagate waves on and inshore of the current shoreline; integration of WEMo and storm surge modeling represents the next generation of forecasting effort"--Page 5.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rip current events, as reported by lifesaving personnel along the North Carolina coast, from Duck to Nags Head, were examined during the 2006 and 2007 summer forecasting periods. Rip current events were analyzed in conjunction with various meteorological and oceanographic parameters that have been suggested to be important in the formation of rip currents elsewhere. It was found that the frequency of rip current rescues and reports increases most significantly for: 1) mean wave directions approaching shore normal 2) wind directions between 22.5 degrees and 90 degrees to shore 3) significant wave heights between 0.5 meters and 1.5 meters 4) dominant wave periods from 5-10 seconds. Surface weather maps were analyzed in an effort to assist forecasters in recognizing the weather patterns, which produce conditions that are favorable for rip current formation. The sources of ocean waves present along the NC coast during rip currents events were identified in order to determine, which types of weather systems, were most likely to produce waves that cause dangerous rips currents during the summer season. Waves generated by winds on the cold side of exiting frontal systems were found to be present on the most days with rip current reports. Storms in the South Atlantic, tropical cyclones, Atlantic high pressure systems, and prefrontal winds were responsible for generating the remainder of rip current producing waves during the summer season. Examination of rip current events throughout the study region revealed several similarities to prior research conducted in other regions. However, some of the wave and wind conditions, and meteorological patterns, that may create conditions favorable for the generation of rip currents in the study region appear to be unique. Additionally, several simulations of wave conditions, across the study region and adjacent waters, were completed using the Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) model. The simulations depict the important roll distantly.

Book excerpt: The coast is well researched because of its intrinsic value to visitors, the lives and property of those who live at the coast, and the environmental services it provides through tourism, natural resources, and as a natural barrier to waves, wind, and water. Storm surge coupled with wave energy at the coast is partly responsible for shaping or damaging coastlines including both natural and human built environments. This dissertation work explores the storm surge hazard focused across Eastern North Carolina through three standalone but related chapters. Storm surge at longer lead times is explored through the examination of climate oscillations related to storm surge characteristics (chapter one) and the synoptic conditions responsible for storm surge (chapters one and three). Emergency support personnel's desire for different types of surge information as well as surge information at longer lead times is covered in chapter two. Statistical and synoptic climatology results indicate a significant relationship between a combination of water height and duration with climate oscillations, which show promise in enhancing the forecasting and awareness of storm surge at greater lead times to further meet storm surge users' needs.

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.
