SOLUTION: Because of the units used in the various nomograms, the units 

 of the parameters are converted to 



3.19(1000) 



Ap = 3.19 in. He. = = 108 milhbars . 



^ ^ 29.53 



Note: 29.53 inches of Hg. « lOOO millibars 



Yp = 13 knots * 14.5 mph 

 R = 14 n.m. * 15.6 miles. 



Using Figure 3-51 with values of Ap and R, 



Sj «s 22 feet (MSL) 



Based on the approximate landfall location (west of Biloxi) of 

 rricane Camillc 

 from Figure 3-52, 



Hxorricane Camille (Fig. 3-47), the shoaling factor F is determined 



s 



F^ ^ 1.23 . 



To evaluate the correction for storm motion Fm the angle of storm 

 approach to the coast tj; must be first determined. The definition of 

 the angle \l) is shown schematically in the insert in Figure 3-54. 

 From Figure 3-47 ^ is estimated to be 102°. From Figure 3-54 for 

 4) = 102° and Vp = 14.5 mph, 



^M * 0.97 . 

 The peak surge given by Equation 3-78 



Sp = (22) (1.23) (0.97) 



Sp = 26.2 feet, say 26 feet (MSL) 



3-125
