Abstract

Several hurricanes during the past 25 yr (1935-1960) have emphasized the exposure of the southern New England shore to damage from hurricanes. The meteorological cause of the high water and waves is found primarily in the wind field over the sea. Detailed estimates of the wind fields that existed in these and other hurricanes lead to some reasonable judgments as to the severity of hurricanes that might be expected in the future.
