aDate/time is for wind gust when both sustained and gust are listed. bExcept as noted, sustained wind averaging periods for C-MAN and land-based ASOS reports are 2 min; buoy averaging periods are 8 min. cStorm surge is water height above normal astronomical tide level. dStorm tide is water height above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (1929 mean sea level). eU. of South Florida buoy averaging periods vary from 1 to 15 minutes. |

Figure 1: Best track positions for Hurricane Gabrielle, 11-19 September 2001. Track during the extratropical stage (after 19/0000 UTC) is based on analyses from the NOAA Marine Prediction Center. Inset is an enlargement of loop over southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
Figure 2: Best track maximum sustained surface wind speed curve for Hurricane Gabrielle, 11-19 September 2001, and the observations on which the best track curve is based. Aircraft observations have been adjusted for elevation using 90%, 80%, and 80% reduction factors for observations from 700 mb, 850 mb, and 1500 ft, respectively. Dropwindsonde observations include actual 10 m winds (sfc), as well as surface estimates derived from the mean wind over the lowest 150 m of the wind sounding (LLM), and from the sounding boundary layer mean(MBL). Estimates during the extratropical stage are from the NOAA Marine Prediction Center.
Figure 3: Best track minimum central pressure curve for Hurricane Gabrielle, 11-19 September 2001, and the observations on which the best track curve is based. Estimates during the extratropical stage are based on analyses from the NOAA Marine Prediction Center.
