Associated Press is reporting that more than a thousand containers were offloaded in Virginia yesterday, with more on the way. Today, the high tech survey boats attached to the Thomas Jefferson surveyed the East River, as the ship processes data for delivery to the Coast Guard.
One of the boats then went to survey Church Hill Channel this afternoon, while the other went to Gravesend Bay. Tasked by the U. Coast Guard Captains of the Port, NOAA vessels can use multibeam echo sounders or side scan sonar , as conditions warrant, to search for the answers that speed resumption of shipping and other vessel movements. Hassler , began survey operations today in support of the U.

The maps show geographic areas where inundation from storm surge could occur, and the heights, above ground, that water could reach in those area.
The data takes into account forecast uncertainty in the track, intensity, and wind field of the tropical cyclone. The values are a reasonable worse cast scenario using storm surge values that have a 1 in 10 chance of being exceeded at each location. During Sandy, all that was displayed was observational data on the hydrographs. Now a forecast is also included with the observations.
The new satellite will improve hurricane track and intensity forecasts with its increased spectral channels and greater spatial and temporal resolution. Despite not being operational yet, data from the satellite has proven vital to forecast operations during the Hurricane season. NWS Doppler Radar is critical to providing detailed information on hurricane wind fields, rainfall, and storm position and movement.
Forecasters were able to utilize data from GOES to track the storm in real-time. Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program HFIP : This coordinates hurricane research needed to significantly improve guidance for hurricane track, intensity, and storm surge forecasts. The goals of HFIP are:. Unfortunately, the storm surge occurred near the time of high tide along the Atlantic Coast. This contributed to record tide levels.

Rainfall across the Tri-State area was limited to less than an inch with the heaviest rain falling across the Delmarva to the south of center of Sandy.
