13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) 
This report provides basic data and summaries for the measurements made during 1991 at the US Army 
Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) Coastal Engineering Research Center’s (CERC’s) Field Research 
Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC. The report includes comparisons of the present year’s data with cumulative statistics 
from 1980 to the present. 
Meteorological and oceanographic data, monthly bathymetric survey results, samples of biannual aerial 
photography, and descriptions of 18 storms that occurred during the year are summarized in this report. The year 
was highlighted by a major storm (the "Halloween Storm”) in late October. Waves with 6-m significant height and 
periods exceeding 21 sec were measured 6 km from shore. 
This report is the 13th in a series of annual summaries of data collected at the FRF that began with 
Miscellaneous Report CERC-82-16, which summarized data collected during 1977-1979. These reports are available 
from the WES Technical Report Distribution Section of the Information Technology Laboratory, Vicksburg, MS.
