[SMCARA] NOAA Solomons Island Weather Graph

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 21:31:50 -0400

No kidding, Tom!  Something must have failed.  I can't imagine them not
having a battery in there somewhere.

The links I sent in my previous e-mail are "realtime" so the interesting
parts of the graph may have slipped out of view by the time most of you
took a look.  Fortunately, I grabbed the graphs as GIF files when I took
a look the other day.  You can take a look at them on my website.  I
have put together a small Isabel page with some interesting pictures I
have found:

Great planning on someone's part!  Does the term "back up power" ring a
bell?? Solar power might have saved the day!

I found this on the NOAA website:

http://www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/cbports/3WLWind_si.html

You can clearly see the water and wind rising and the pressure dropping.
Note also that the water level rose with the predicted high tide.  Not a
good combination.  The instruments went offline just before midnight on
9/19 and were not back online at the time of this e-mail.

Here is the same graph for the Bay Bridge Tunnel at the mouth of the
Chesapeake Bay.  Those instruments stayed online:

On this graph you can see the wind direction change from NE to SW as the
eye wall passed.
