Barbuda 17 9 N Probable Storm Effects Points
Barbuda 17. 9 N Probable Storm Effects Points of Interest: 1. Goat Point: Low ground surrounded by reefs. MILES KILOMETERS ARC-MINUTES 15 30 61. 55 W Note: Waves and surges for Points of Interest are reported from the nearest cell offshore. 62. 05 W 1 Goat Point 2. Codrington: Harbour and main town on a lagoon 20 The projection of the illustrations is Plate Carrée, a square grid of latitude and longitude. Resolution is 30 arc-seconds. North-South distances are true to scale. East-West. Ross distances are stretched 4. 8% Wagenseil at 17. 4 degrees North, and stretched fordegrees CDMP 5. 1% at 17. 9 North. All model results were calculated 2000 using great-circle January distances based on the WGS 84 datum.

These maps are a result of new techniques for modeling storms and estimating the probabilities of storms, developed in part under the patronage of CDMP. Refer to the Atlas for explanatory materials. WINDS represent sustained 1 -minute winds at 10 m above the surface, and include both surface friction and topographic effects at a resolution of 30 arc-seconds. Friction factors derive from a Level I land-cover classification, with water, forest and open land predominating. If using wind damage models or building codes which internally include surface friction or topographic corrections, the nearest open-water wind speed from one of these maps may be used as input. Careful judgement is advised in reading and applying the values. • SURGES include astronomical tide and setups from pressure, wind and wave, but not wave runup. Surges over land are shown as elevation above sea level, not water depth. • WAVES are the heights of wave crests above the storm surge level in open water. Shoreline effects do not appear at this resolution.
