Hurricane Data Collection: FCMP Deployments During the 2004 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Abstract eng:
The 10ACWE received several submissions concerning various aspects of the collection and analysis of Florida Coastal Monitoring Program (FCMP) related datasets from the 2004 hurricane season. These submissions focus on specific issues of wind turbulence characterization (gust factors, lateral length scales, convective eyewall features), measured pressure coefficients on full-scale and modeled FCMP residential units, wind swath maps based on real-time ground observations, and post-storm damage surveys. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of each of the FCMP instrumentation deployments in the 2004 hurricane season (Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne) to serve as a reference point for the other FCMP-related submissions. Details will be provided regarding the deployment of the portable towers and the pressure instrumentation on the coastal homes.
