Abstract: Mean and fluctuating winds wore measured within the atmospheric surface layer at three locations across Long Island during the landfall of Hurricane Belle on 9 August 19176. An order of magnitude increase in wind shear was observed. A maximum friction velocity of ?133 cm s?1 and a maximum energy dissipation rate of ?130 cm?2 s?3 were estimated. Mean wind speeds at the beach were found to he 3?5 times the corresponding wind speeds inland. A periodicity in rainfall associated with bands of thundershowers was observed. A storm surge of ?125 cm was estimated from water level records near Shinnecock Inlet. The records indicated the three successive stages, forerunner, hurricane surge and resurgence, associated with the hurricane.
