title = "Observations of tropical cyclone winds in marine exposure",
abstract = "The development and deployment of Texas Tech University's StickNet adaptive observing network has yielded an increased number of observations from the immediate shoreline [1]. The current study leverages research grade wind measurements from 6 different landfalling tropical cyclones from 2008-2012. Twenty-four individual deployments were made along the immediate shoreline resulting in over 1500 ten-minute data segments from onshore marine exposure regimes. The number of available data segments allowed for the wind flow characteristics to be examined as well as their dependence upon changing mean wind speed. Gust factors were found to be quite similar to overland open and smooth terrain exposures while roughness lengths and drag coefficient values approached those observed in deep water conditions [2][3].",
