摘要

The Field Research Facility, operated since 1977 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has a long-standing mission of collecting coastal observations during storms. The eye of Hur ricane Irene passed within 5 km of the facility and provided the opportunity to observe a full suite of cyclone effects on both the coastal ocean and a shallow estuary. New technology and the deployment of sensors in new locations reveal interesting findings in three topical areas: wave-driven run-up, shoreline erosional hotspots, and seiching in small, shallow estuaries. Results from a nearly continuously operating lidar mounted on the crest of a primary dune show substantial evolution of foreshore slope even after a storm profile was reached in the building phase of the storm. Run-up elevation measured from the lidar show a strong correlation to the height of waves at the base of the foreshore. Erosional hotspots are explored with Coastal Lidar And Radar Imaging System (CLARIS) which simultaneously measures beach topography, wave speed and breaking, and bathymetry. CLARIS data show a spatial relation ship between the radar-measured intensity of wave breaking on the foreshore and beach volume change. Consistent with the run-up observations, where larger waves at the foreshore forced higher run-up elevations, higher radar intensities at the foreshore are indicative of areas where waves have been less dissipated across the surf zone (i.e. minimal influence of sand bars) and deliver more energy and sediment transport potential directly onto the beach. An array of water level and current observations in the Currituck Sound, located on the west side of the Facility, shows the influence of basin seiching during the peak flooding and waning periods of Hurricane Irene. Seiching is shown to generate step-like plateaus in falling water levels and to retard the response to temporal and spatial variations in local wind forcing.
