. Annual data summary for 1989, CERC Field Research Facility : volume 1, main text and appendixes A and B. Ocean waves; Oceanographic research stations; Marine meteorology; Storms. 4-10 September 1989. Hurricane Gabrielle (Figure 34) 73. Storm waves, initially caused by strong (over 13 m/sec) northeast winds following the passage of a cold front on 3 September, attained an Hmo (at Gage 625) of m (T = sec) late on 4 September. Moderate winds through 5 September kept the H^ above 2 m. Early on 6 September, with the H^ hovering just above 2 m, the period took a dramatic jump to over 15 sec. This swell was generated by Hurricane Gabrielle, which remained well out to sea as it skirted the Bahamas on a northerly track that paralleled the US coast. These long period waves continued to buffet the Outer Banks through the morning of 10 September. The highest measured timo (Gage 625) of m (Tp = sec) was recorded at 1108 EST on 9 September. Because the hurricane remained far offshore, neither the atmospheric pressure nor the winds at the FRF were influenced by the storm. Atmospheric Pressure, mb Gaae 616. Figure 34.
