This
was a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to describe the evolution and
distribution of the surface wind field and wave field in the northern Gulf
of Mexico during Hurricane Andrew in August 1992. The hindcast used public
domain meteorological and oceanographic measured data and the Oceanweather's
most accurate cyclone wind and wave hindcast methods. The narrative report
includes a description of the data sources, storm evolution (track and
intensity), hindcast method and a summary of results. |
