Summary

Meteorological data were collected as part of the DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina during 2021. The DUNEX project is a collaborative, multi-agency experiment designed to provide comprehensive measurements of storm-induced processes on coastal habitats. The overarching goals of this study are to understand oceanographic processes and their contribution to coastal morphological changes. These data will be used to improve storm forecasting models and prepare for future extreme weather events.

Purpose

A Vaisala WXT536 meteorological station was installed on the beach to measure wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall. These data will be used in storm forecasting models.
