1882/01: No major changes from this newly documented hurricane by Partagas and Diaz (1996). Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon reports from the ships "Case" and "Ida".
1882/02: No major changes from Partagas
and Diaz (1996), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in
Neumann et al. (1993). 981 mb central
pressure suggests winds of 76 kt from the southern
wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track. 961
mb central pressure corresponds to 94 kt from the subtropical latitude
wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen for best track. 949 mb
central pressure corresponds to 103 kt from the subtropical wind-pressure
relationship - 100 kt chosen for best track. 1000 mb central pressure
suggests 49 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 50 kt chosen
for best track. A pressure reading of 980 mb not in the hurricane's
center (at 06 UTC on the 4th of September) suggests winds of at least 78
kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for the
best track. A pressure reading of 986 mb not in the hurricane's center
(at 18 UTC on the 5th) suggests winds of at least 70 kt from the southern
wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for the best track. Inland
decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria
(1995) utilized for inland winds over the S.E. United States.
Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane intensity based upon
central pressure reading of 949 mb from the ship "Cato" while over the
Gulf of Mexico.
1882/03: No major changes from Partagas
and Diaz (1996). Track unaltered from Neumann
et al. (1993). 1005 mb central pressure corresponds to 40 kt
from the northern wind-pressure relationship,
which is utilized as the best track intensity value. The best
track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical
cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm until its dissipation below
tropical storm intensity).
1882/04: No major changes from this newly documented hurricane from Partagas and Diaz (1996). Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon reports from the ships "R.A. Allen" and "Sedmi Dubrovacki".
1882/05: No major changes from Partagas
and Diaz (1996). Track unaltered from Neumann
et al. (1993). 975 mb central pressure corresponds to 84 kt in
the southern wind-pressure relationship -
90 kt chosen for best track. 981 mb central pressure corresponds
to 76 kt of sustained winds from the southern wind-pressure relationship
- 80 kt utilized in best track. Inland decay model of Kaplan
and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Florida and Georgia.
Storm is determined to have been of hurricane intensity while in the Caribbean
and Gulf of Mexico based upon these central pressure readings, ship reports
and a 9 foot storm surge experienced at the mouth of the Colona River,
Cuba. Storm regained hurricane intensity while over the Atlantic
based upon several ship reports.
