| Description |
This
study was to develop a description of the evolution and distribution of the
surface wind field, wave, salinity, sea surface temperature and current
field in the northern GOM during the approach and passage of Hurricane Lili
in 2002. The hindcast utilized all available public domain meteorological
and oceanographic measured data, and Oceanweather’s most accurate cyclone
wind and wave hindcast methods. Hindcast results are validated against
available measured data and an assessment of the accuracy of the hindcast
provided with the results. The narrative report includes a description of
the data sources, storm evolution (track and intensity), wind and wave
hindcast method and a summary of results. |
