******************************************************************************** 1877/01: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who made large alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993). These track changes are found to be reasonable. 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). ******************************************************************************** 1877/02: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who made reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over SE United States after final landfall in Florida. Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon the description of winds and effects along the Gulf coast. The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm to its peak as a hurricane until its dissipation below tropical storm intensity). ******************************************************************************** 1877/03: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who made large alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993). These track changes are found to be reasonable. Storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon reports from the ship "Harlcy John" and from wind reports at St. Paul Island, Canada. ******************************************************************************** 1877/04: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who made reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the eastern United States. Storm tide is reported as 12' for St. Marks, Florida from Barnes (1998). Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane intensity based upon storm tide in St. Marks as well as reports from the ship "Sarah Hall". 05655 09/21/1877 M=15 4 SNBR= 172 NOT NAMED XING=1 SSS=3 05655 09/21/1877 M=15 4 SNBR= 175 NOT NAMED XING=1 SSS=3 *** 05660 09/21*117 555 50 0*117 565 50 0*117 577 60 0*118 591 60 0 05665 09/22*118 605 70 0*118 620 70 0*117 633 80 0*116 644 80 0 05670 09/23*116 658 90 0*116 670 90 0*117 680 90 0*118 691 90 0 05675 09/24*121 703 90 0*123 714 90 0*127 725 90 0*130 736 90 0 05680 09/25*133 746 80 0*137 759 80 0*140 770 80 0*143 780 80 0 05685 09/26*147 791 70 0*150 801 70 0*153 810 70 0*157 816 70 0 05690 09/27*161 821 70 0*167 826 70 0*171 831 70 0*177 836 70 0 05695 09/28*182 843 70 0*189 851 70 0*195 855 70 0*201 859 70 0 05700 09/29*206 861 70 0*212 864 70 0*219 868 70 0*224 870 70 0 05705 09/30*227 871 70 0*234 873 70 0*237 875 70 0*244 876 70 0 05705 09/30*229 871 70 0*234 873 70 0*239 875 70 0*244 877 70 0 *** *** *** 05710 10/01*247 878 80 0*254 878 80 0*260 876 80 0*265 876 80 0 05710 10/01*249 878 80 0*254 878 80 0*260 877 80 0*265 876 80 0 *** *** 05715 10/02*271 875 90 0*275 873 90 0*280 870 90 0*288 864 90 0 05720 10/03*295 859 100 0*301 853 90 0*307 845 70 0*317 833 50 0 05725 10/04*328 821 40 0*339 808 40 0E350 793 50 0E369 774 50 0 05730 10/05E393 749 60 0E408 724 60 0E420 695 50 0E435 660 50 0 05735 HRAFL3 GA1 Track adjusted slightly to provide for a more realistic translational velocity. ******************************************************************************** 1877/05: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who made reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al.
