APPENDIX D: DATA SUMMARY FOR THE STORM OF 16 SEPTEMBER 1967 



1. Two New Jersey sites were monitored after the 16 September 1967 

 event, Atlantic City and Ludlam Beach. Wave heights ranged from 2.2 to 

 2.7m. A peak storm tide of 1.4 m above msl and surge of 0.8 m were recorded 

 at the Atlantic City tide gage. Neither of the two sites experienced maximum 

 wave heights during the peak storm tide. No other events occurred between 

 the survey intervals. 



2. Atlantic City experienced the greatest median volume change at 

 -15.6 m^/m and showed the greatest variation between the profiles. The hinge 

 range for Atlantic City was 23 m^/m which is quite large for only seven 

 profile lines. The major losses on the beach occurred from the 0- to 1 . 5-m 

 contour intervals. At Ludlam Beach, consistent berm erosion occurred at 

 profile lines 5 through 9. Profile line 10 with a similar prestorm profile 

 experienced a high accretion, possibly the result of a poststorm surveying 

 problem. The greatest erosion occurred downdrift (south) of the Sea Isle 

 City groin field. 



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.
