Hurricane Bonnieat the Field Research Facility in Duck, NC August 27, 1998 A summary of Bonnie's impact at the FRF.  |
The Field Research Facility began recording arriving swell caused by
Hurricane Bonnie at 0700 EST on August 23rd. Not much happened until the
wave height peaked at 3.9 m at 1634 EST August 27th when the
eye passed overhead and the barometer bottomed out at 992 mb at 1700 EST.
Swell waves continued until the 28th. Though the impact of Bonnie was felt
greater at landfall in southern North Carolina and in Virginia Beach, VA, she
was still a well-documented
significant event for the FRF. In this page, we collect together some of
our observations of Bonnie for easier access. If you find the information
