HURRICANE TRACKING WITH RADAR

With the development of weather search radar in recent years, and its increased use in detecting and tracking hurricanes, a valuable aid has been made available to the Hurricane Warning Service.

Radar, which can see the characteristic bands of a hurricane up to 200 miles away makes it possible to locate the eye, or center, of the hurricane while it is a considerable distance out to sea. By continued careful observation the radar meteorologist can determine the speed and direction of past movement, extent of area of heavy rainfall, and other meteorological factors characteristic of the hurricane under observation. The view of the hurricane obtained by the use of radar combined with observations from other sources assists the hurricane forecaster in determining the direction the storm will move and the areas to be warned.

Hurricane Daisy, as it moved northward in August of 1958, provides an excellent example of hurricane tracking with radar. As can be seen from the chart an reverse side, the location of the storm center was reported frequently and regularly to the forecaster after it came within radar range. This information, properly evaluated and combined with other data, helped the forecasters to predict correctly the course of Daisy away from the New England coast.

Radar fixes, or locations of the center, in themselves cannot use as an indication of the future movement of the hurricane. As shown on the several times Daisy appeared for short periods to be moving directly toward land, but subsequently the apparent direction of motion of the storm became more nearly parallel to the coast. This illustrates the sometimes erratic pattern of movement of the center within the hurricane and the danger of assuming that the whole storm is moving on the course represented by the last two or three half-hourly radar fixes.

Occasionally the center fixes reported by different radar stations at about the same times do not coincide. Differences in the fixes may be due to differences in estimates made by the radar observers of the geometric center of an irregularly shaped eye on the radarscope, difficulties in identifying the center, or other reasons. These differences in fixes increase the problem of interpretation and illustrate further the importance of careful evaluation of all available data in determining hurricane movement. Radar center fixes, properly used, are of great value in hurricane tracking and prediction. Failure to take into account their limitations, on the other hand, can result in serious errors and unnecessary public alarm.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON HURRICANE DAISY

AUGUST 24-29, 1958

Hurricane "Daisy", intense but small in area, was detected as a tropical storm about 300 miles east-northeast of Miami, Florida on Sunday, August 24, 1958. A report from the ship " Alamar " indicating low pressure and strong winds provided the first clue to the developing storm. A Navy reconnaissance flight into the area subsequently confirmed its existence.

The tropical storm developed into a hurricane on August 25. From August 24 to August 27 it drifted very slowly northward. Then its forward speed up the coast increased. It skirted the Atlantic seaboard and finally moved out into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia on August 29. Hurricane "Daisy" reached its maximum intensity late Wednesday, August 27 and early Thursday, August 28 while moving northward off the Georgia and Carolina coasts. The strongest winds near the center were then about 125 miles per hour and the central pressure about 935 mb or 27.61 inches.

Although the center of Hurricane Daisy passed within about 75 miles of Cape Hatteras and Nantucket, the area of hurricane winds was so concentrated that neither the North Carolina nor New England coasts felt the full effects of the storm. The Hatteras station reported as its highest wind NNW 27 mph with gusts to 36. Block Island, R. I. reported a "fastest miles" of 40 mph with a gust to 45. A Texas tower located 120 miles east of Cape Cod reported gusty winds of 87 mph and steady wind of 69 mph as the hurricane center passed nearby. Available post-storm reports show no appreciable damage or loss from this severe hurricane.

Over much of its course along the coast, Daisy was in range of shore-based radar. From the time it approached Hatteras until it passed Nantucket, the center was under almost constant radar observation. Reconnaissance coverage by Air Force, Navy, and National Hurricane Research Project aircraft was also excellent, and the slow movement of the storm near the Florida coast during the first several days of its existence offered an unusually good opportunity for investigation by aircraft of the National Hurricane Research Project based at West Palm Beach.
