Results of Roberts Hall Data
Results of Roberts Hall Data Various instrumentation data:
Hurricane Jeanne, 2004
This initial plot begins at day 269 (Day 1 = Jan 1) at 2306 EDT with the peak at day 270 at about 0214 to 0328. The last point is day 272 at 1209 EDT.
The data computers in the Link Building were off for the storm, and the data were later downloaded directly from datalogger memory to a laptop computer.
Anemometer
Our newly repositioned (Friday p.m. before Jeanne struck) anemometer is on the side of the WFIT tower at ~103 ft (I only had to climb some 26 ft up from the roof) and indicated 50 to 60 mph sustained one-minute average speeds during the peak of the storm. Some individual measurements show 63 mph. We thought this seemed low. Gusts of ~3 to 4 seconds provide only a few points to go into the average, diminishing the impact of peak gusts. This is a MetOne 034B-L vane and cup instrument. We plan a rough verification test against a handheld Kestral anemometer before long, and might place a second MetOne on the other end of the cross mast to get a comparison.
