OCTOBER 
1982 
Figure 51. Storm data for 10-13 October 1982 
of the 12th. Such high, long-period waves are very unusual on the east coast 
of the US. 
153. A relatively straight beach and nearshore bar characterized the 
bathymetry prior to the storm. During the waning stages of the storm on the 
13th, substantial offshore movement of the bar had occurred. By the 19th, the 
nearshore bar had moved landward to its prestorm position. Details of the 
storm and associated bathymetric changes are discussed by Holman and Sallenger 
(1984); Howd and Holman (1984); Jaffe, Sternberg, and Sallenger (1984); Mason 
et al. (1984); Richmond and Sallenger (1984); Sallenger et al. (1983); and 
Sallenger and Holman (1984).
