APPENDIX A: DATA SUMMARY FOR THE STORM OF 3 NOVEMBER 1962 



1. The 3 November 1962 storm is documented through its effects on the 

 three New Jersey localities including Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, and 

 Ludlam Beach. Peak hindcast wave heights for this event ranged from 3 . 5 to 

 3.7m with a maximum storm tide of 1.5m above msl. A surge of 0.9 m 

 coincided with the storm waves. At all localities poststorm surveys were 

 conducted within five days after the storm, and only one major event occurred 

 within the survey interval. 



2. All three localities experienced net erosion after this storm. Long 

 Beach Island eroded the most with a median volume change of -11.0 m^/m. This 

 locality also showed the most variation between profiles with a hinge range 

 of 24.6 m^/m. Volumetric losses on the beaches primarily occurred between 

 the 0.5- and 2.0-m contours. Median shoreline changes were all positive, 

 indicating shoreline accretion. Slope changes were negligible with the 

 exception of Long Beach Island which flattened 0.022. At Ludlam Beach 

 profile lines 7 to 10 showed evidence of peat outcrops near the shoreline. 



3. Tables and figures are arranged according to predicted and actual 

 water levels, hindcasted wave data, profile comparisons, shoreline and slope 

 changes, unit volume changes, and distribution of unit volume changes.
