APPENDIX G: DATA SUMMARY FOR THE STORM OF 2 FEBRUARY 1970 



1. The effects of the 2 February 1970 storm were recorded at 

 Misquamicut, Jones Beach, and Atlantic City. Storm tracks are shown in the 

 surface weather maps. This storm was a minor event with a peak water level 

 of 1 . 1 m at the Sandy Hook gage (the Atlantic City tide gage was 

 inoperative). The storm surge was only 0.4 m indicating an event that occurs 

 several times a year. Wave heights ranged from 2.1 to 3.5 ra and were higher 

 at the northern localities. All sites experienced the maximum surge during 

 high waves. Two storms occurred during the survey interval with the second 

 being the most significant. All poststorm surveys were conducted within 2 

 days after the event. 



2. All shorelines receded, ranging from -6.1 m at Atlantic City to 

 -1.3 m at Jones Beach. Slope changes were negligible at all sites except 

 Atlantic City which flattened 0.012. Median volume changes were negative at 

 Misquamicut and Atlantic City, positive at Jones Beach. The three largest 

 changes at Jones beach (profile lines 4, 17, and 18) were positive and in 

 excess of 40 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.
