Cardone, V.J.

NOAA Tech. Memo. ERL PMEL-19, NTIS: PB81-102519, 68 pp, J.E. Overland (coord.) (1980)


This memorandum presents the meteorological development and life history of four severe storms from 1974–1976 which resulted in high winds in the inner Gulf of Alaska. Storm tracks and a narrative of each storm are provided along with sequences of sea-level pressure analyses, streamline-isotach analyses and wind variation at four offshore locations between Yakutat and Kodiak, Alaska. The four storms represent a variety of storm histories and a range of coastal wind response.
