. Annual data summary for 1987 CERC Field Research Facility. Oceanography; Meteorology; Oceanographic research stations; Ocean waves; Ocean currents. 12-15 October 1987 (Figure 39) 77. Following the passage of a cold front late on 11 October, strong onshore winds generated by a huge high-pressure system located in the central US rapidly produced storm waves at the FRF. Onshore winds exceeded 10 m/sec (N to NNE) for 86 consecutive hr with the peak wind speed of 17 m/sec (NNE) occurring at 1934 EST on 13 October. Waves above 2 m were recorded for 80 consecutive hr with the maximum H^ (Gage 141)
