This book presents a range of basic data and environmental measurements made between 1977 to 1979 at the Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, North Carolina, owned by the US Army. It offers two complete years of data, and available data from 1977, all meticulously collected by the author. The FRF is best understood as a rigid research platform, built for measuring waves, currents, and water levels, especially during severe weather events, such as storms. This platform has been carefully designed to allow the author unique opportunities to test new instrumentation and serve as a permanent field base for physical and biological studies of the site and the surrounding region. The author frames the environmental measurements in the context of climatological trends, and provides careful and detailed summaries, accompanied by helpful tables and visual aids including wind roses, temperature/rainfall charts, and bathymetry maps. The result of this work is a resource that will prove invaluable to researchers and environmentalists who wish to understand the environment and weather patterns of this region.
