Storms and Shoreline Configuration

Robert Dolan, Bruce Hayden

ABSTRACT

Spectral analysis of the 1962 great Atlantic coast storm penetration (overwash) along the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Fenwick Island, Maryland, reveals along-the-coast periodicities ranging in wavelength from 14 km to 15 km. Periodicities with similar wavelengths exist in long-term mean rates of change of the shoreline and storm-surge penetration line. This suggests the location and magnitude of storm deposits and storm hazards along the Atlantic coast are systematically distributed.
