SOLUTION : Because of the units used in the varions nomograms, the units
of the parameters are converted to
3.19 (1000)
△p = 3.19 in. Hg. = —29 ^
= 108 millibars .
Note: 29.53 inches of Hg. * 1000 millibars
Vp = 13 knots
14.5 mph
R = 14 n.m. « 15.6 miles.
Using Figure 3-51 with values of Ap and R,
S, « 22 feet (MSL)
Based on the approximate landfall location (west of Biloxi) of
Hurricane Camille (Fig. 3-47), the shoaling factor Fg is determined
from Figure 3-52.
F « 1.23 .
S
To evaluate the correction for storm motion F^f the angle of storm
approach to the coast ip must be first determined. The définition of
the angle ip is shown schematically in the insert in Figure 3-54.
From Figure 3-47 ip is estimated to be 102°» From Figure 3-54 for
= 102° and Vp = 14.5 mph,
Fm - 0.97 .
The peak surge given by Equation 3-78
