DUNEX Pea Island Experiment
The USGS, including scientists from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, participated in the multiagency DUNEX (During Nearshore Event Experiment) project in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, September through October 2021. Maps of the beach were made at regular intervals.

Hurricane Dorian water level changes.
Land surface elevation and modeled water level changes at Pamlico Sound during Hurricane Dorian. Small red box shows where the breaches to barrier islands were modeled.

Hurricane Florence atmospheric model
Example from development of an atmospheric model for Hurricane Florence. The images display a comparison between the control case, WRF-ROMS-SWAN modeling system and the multi-sensor (radar and rain) precipitation observations during the calibration of the model.

Hurricane Florence atmospheric model
Example from development of an atmospheric model for Hurricane Florence. The animation shows the changing atmospheric pressure and wind fields during the storm as simulated by the model. Arrows display wind direction, colors indicate atmospheric pressure ranging from 97,500 pascals (red) to 102,460 pascals (blue).

Hurricane Florence numerical modeling
Hurricane Florence numerical modeling: Cape Fear River basin boundaries, topography, river streams and measurement locations. USGS streamflow and rain gages, and Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) gages are shown. Stream order increases going from branches to the main channel indicating merging surface water flow.

Ocean HDX Miniature Spectrometer
The AIM group collaborated with the National Uncrewed Systems Office in fieldwork at the South Cape Beach Marsh in Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts to test our newly acquired Ocean HDX Miniature Spectrometer, a modified laboratory spectroradiometer, against the much costlier industry standard product.

Video camera snapshot at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
Two video cameras are temporarily mounted on a dune at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The cameras are imaging the southern DUNEX experiment site and are designed to have a stereo view of the beach and potential overwash path until late October. Instruments from the U.S.
