Description

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.
