E = edge transit

IE = inner edge transit

TTC = transit through the center, center passes

at 1,000 feet or less

OE = outer edge transit
PN = partial transit, an upwind event

Types of records: more fully described in Section 3.3.2; the letter designators used are:
M = record typical for station almost

missed by surge

N; & No = records typical for stations

W, & Wo = characteristic Wahoo records

U, & Ug = characteristic Umbrella records

experiencing an edge transit
Surge boundaries: These and other surge parameters are illustrated in Figure 3.63; the letter

designators used are:

B, = inner primary smooth boundary
B, = outer primary smooth boundary
_ Bg = outer secondary smooth boundary
H = hypothetical surge center

NOL = NOL smooth boundary
P, = inner photo-boundary of primary surge
Py = outer photo-boundary of primary surge
S_ = outer photo-boundary of secondary surge
X = photographic surge center

Total surge: normalized dose cumulated over time indicated.
Surge boundaries: photo-TOA and photo-TOC given for outer primary photo-boundary only;

distance and time of closest approach of X given if <5,000 feet; rad-TOA = average of 38 and
100 percent of TOP; rad-TOC = time normalized rate curve drops below 10° r/hr; source
center = distance of P, at TOP; length of tail calculated using official surface wind speed.
Approach velocities: Photo-veiocities calculated for boundary indicated at specified distances

greater than that at TOP. Rad-velocities calculated for rise from 5 to 100 percent of peak for
models indicated, (see also Section A.3).
Waterborne sources: Calculated water and foam movements for drifts and sets or radial ex-

pansions indicated.

Bomb-generated waves: Calculated as described in Section 2.3.2.
4. Boundary plot: distance of various surge boundaries shown as a function of time; normalized rate curve with logarithmic scale superimposed; calculated water and foam movements
shown at bottom; values in brackets are read from dashed boundaries, which compensate for
Burge disappearance (see text).
