Description:

This report, produced by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in cooperation with the Tropical Prediction Center (TPC), is a preliminary summary of the 1997 Atlantic Hurricane season. It provides a synopsis of each named tropical storm using textual information based on the TPC Preliminary Hurricane Reports authored by Lawrence, et al, and remotely sensed and in-situ data received at the NCDC. Satellite imagery for each storm were taken by the eastern Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-8). Additional meteorological data for Hurricane Danny, the most destructive hurricane affecting the U.S. mainland, includes a NEXRAD Doppler Radar derived storm total precipitation map, a table of stations reporting five inches or more rainfall from the storm, and a map of total precipitation created from an extensive collection of cooperative and National Weather Service stations. The statistics on deaths and damages were obtained from the TPC?s Preliminary Hurricane Reports and are subject to revision.
