Dataset ID:BPH8801B
Dataset Title (Identity):Long-term precipitation for the Virginia Coast Reserve 1837-2007.
Dataset Contacts: Bruce P. Hayden ,
Dataset Originators (Authors): Bruce P. Hayden ,
LTER Core Areas: Site Physical Characteristics
Collection Started (MM/DD/YY): 01/01 /1837 Collection Ended: 12/ 31/2007
General Location Where Data Was Collected: Norfolk Virginia
Form of the Data: Column
To build an inventory of tropical storms on the VCR from 1650 to present. While tropical storms are infrequent (several landfalls per 100 years) the magnitude of the disturbance is great. Storm surges 10 feet plus are expected with waves of 17 to 23 feet offshore. The record being developed will serve as a benchmark and will serve when the next tropical storm comes. Comparisons of frequency and magnitude can be detailed and can be used in model studies.
Data:
1871 - Present: maps and charts and storm data
A NOAA publication
Before 1871 Ludlums summaries, written records and several publications.
