APPENDIX E: DATA SUMMARY FOR THE STORM OF 12 MARCH 1968 



1. The storm of 12 March 1968 was documented through its effects on 

 Misquamicut, Jones Beach, and Atlantic City. The development of the storm is 

 shown on the synoptic weather map. This event was minor, producing peak high 

 tides of only 1.1 to 1.2 m above msl with an associated 0.4-m surge. Wave 

 heights ranged from 2.8 to 3.0 m. Along the northern beaches, peak tide and 

 maximum wave heights coincided, but were slightly out of phase at Atlantic 

 City. Only one storm occurred between the surveys, and poststorm profiling 

 was completed within a few days after the storm. 



2. Misquamicut experienced the greatest median volume change, but 

 eroded only -4.3 m^/m. All shorelines receded after this event and slope 

 changes were generally small except at Westhampton where the median slope 

 change was 0.053. The profile lines at Jones Beach showed the greatest 

 variability with a hinge range of around 22.8 m^/m. 



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.
