SECTION 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 1

1. The following water stage, wind, wave, and weather data are provided for inclusion in the subject project’s P&S. The water level datums provided here are for information only and are not for use in conjunction with any contract-related hydrographic surveying.

a) Water Stages. Water levels in the project area are mainly affected by wind and semi-diurnal tidal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean. The project area is subject to tropical system storm surge from June through November. Surge from extratropical storms may affect the area any time of the year.

Elevations of tidal datums in the vicinity of the project area were gathered using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) tide stations shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. These data are referenced to Mean Lower-Low Water (MLLW) from the tidal epoch period of 1983-2001. Additional tidal data on stations in the vicinity of the subject project area can be found at the following website: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map/index.html?region=Florida.

The elevations in Table 1 are taken from NOAA’s Tide Station 8720030 (Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, FL). These datums are based on a 17-year analyses period from 01 January 1983 to 31 December 1984 and 01 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 from a gauge on the bayside of Amelia Island, which is roughly 0.2 miles east of the project area.

Daily tidal predictions at locations along the coastline of North and South America, including locations in the vicinity of the project area, are included in the publication East Coast of North and South America Tide Tables, United States (U.S.) Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service. In addition to daily tidal predictions, this publication provides mean tide levels, diurnal tide ranges, and some astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset). Of note, tidal data provided in this publication are also listed at the following website:

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html.

b) Wind and Wave Data. The publications in this section include wind and wave information in the vicinity of the project area. They are available for review at the websites or agencies indicated.

i. U.S. Coast Pilot Volume 4, Atlantic Coast: Cape Henry to Key West, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service is a publication that supplements the navigational information shown on NOAA’s NOS nautical charts and provides miscellaneous meteorological data. This publication is available through NOAA or on the following website: https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html.

ii. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory, Wave Information Study (WIS) Database is a wave hindcast database for various stations located along the U.S. Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean coastlines. WIS Station 63401 is in roughly 17.0 meters (m) or 55.8 feet (ft) of water relative to the Mean Sea Level (MSL) datum at 30° 40.2' N, 81° 15.0' W. This station lies approximately 12.0 miles east of the mouth of the St. Mary’s River. Available data includes a hindcast time series of wave height, wave spread, wave period, wave and wind direction, and wind speed at 1-hour intervals for the 40-year period of 1980-2019. The following website provides links to WIS summary tables and plots, as well as other sources of wave data: https://wis.erdc.dren.mil.

iii. National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Website provides a wide range of real-time and archived meteorological and oceanographic data collected at offshore and nearshore stations worldwide. Data provided on this website include wind speed, wind gusts, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea temperature, wave height, and wave period. Gauge readings are updated hourly, and archived data is available for most stations. Data relevant to Florida projects are found at the following website:

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 3

c) Weather Conditions. The project area is subject to tropical systems June through November and to windy and rainy weather any time of the year. The climate of the area is essentially tropical, as temperatures below freezing are seldom. During the wet season (May through October), rainfall events are usually short and sporadic and closely associated with convective activity. Winter months generally constitute the dry season, where rainfall is typically associated with mid-latitude, or extratropical, systems and distributed in a more spatially uniform pattern. Daily rainfall events in the dry season are occasionally heavy when mid-latitude systems impact northeast Florida. Notably, hazardous thunderstorms can occur in this area at any time of the year.

i. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain information concerning weather conditions in the project area. The Climate Data Online website (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/) published by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly the National Climatic Data Center) in Asheville, North Carolina contains climatological and meteorological data relevant to this region. Available data include quality-controlled daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly measurements of temperature, precipitation, wind, and degree days as well as radar data and 15- to 30-year climate normals.

NOAA’s Climate Data Online website includes Monthly Normals (average values) for temperature, precipitation, and other climatological information over three periods: 1981-2010, 1991-2020, and 2006- 2020. NOAA’s Fernandina Beach, FL gauge (ID USC00082944) is close to the project area and lies roughly

1.0 miles east of the project site at 30° 40.0' N, 81° 27.2' W. The most applicable period for data at this site is likely 1991 to 2020 and is found at the following website: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/normals/.
