Measurement instrument 



Winds were measured at the seaward end of the pier at an elevation of 

 19.1 m (Figure 2) using a Wea±er Measure Corporation (Sacramento, CA) 

 Skyvane Model W102P anemometer. Wind speed and direction data were 

 collected on the FRF computer. The anemometer manufacturer specifies an 

 accuracy of ±0.45 m/sec below 13 m/sec and 3 percent at speeds above 

 13 m/sec, with a threshold of 0.9 m/sec. Wind direction accuracy is ±2 deg, 

 with a resolution of less than 1 deg. The anemometer is calibrated aimually at 

 the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, MD, and is within the 

 manufacturer's specifications.
