Description:

Hurricane Sandy (2012) was the second costliest tropical cyclone to impact the United States and resulted in numerous lives lost due to its high winds and catastrophic storm surges. Despite its impacts little research has been performed on the circulation on the continental shelf as Sandy made landfall. In this study, integrated ocean observing assets and regional ocean modeling were used to investigate the coastalocean response to Sandy’s large wind ﬁeld. Sandy’s unique cross-shelf storm track, large size, and slowspeed resulted in along-shelf wind stress over the coastal ocean for nearly 48 h before the eye made landfallin southern New Jersey. Over the ﬁrst inertial period ( /C2418 h), this along-shelf wind stress drove onshore ﬂow in the surface of the stratiﬁed continental shelf and initiated a two-layer downwelling circulation.During the remaining storm forcing period a bottom Ekman layer developed and the bottom Cold Pool wasrapidly advected offshore /C2470 km. This offshore advection removed the bottom Cold Pool from the majority of the shallow continental shelf and limited ahead-of-eye-center sea surface temperature (SST)cooling, which has been observed in previous storms on the MAB such as Hurricane Irene (2011). This cross-shelf advective process has not been observed previously on continental shelves during tropical
