RAPID: Observations of physical impacts following Hurricane SandyRobert Weiss, Jennifer L Irish, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, EAR-1312813ABSTRACTHurricane Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City on October 29th 2012. Sandy was classified as a Category I hurricane; however, a non-tropical weather system merged with Sandy and created a unique situation that resulted in catastrophic damage along the shores of New Jersey and New York. To this end, the record surges produced by Hurricane Sandy resulted in record damages in built and natural environments in New York and New Jersey. Hurricane Sandy provides the unusual opportunity to observe and collect information for the purpose of comparing sedimentary deposits resulting from storms versus those originating from recent tsunamis. PIs will focus on New Jersey and New York due to the magnitude of the impact and severity of the damages. In the reconnaissance surveys PIs will measure flood elevations and inundations of the storm surge, which are similar data collected during tsunami reconnaissance field surveys. This is important in designing protective infrastructure for either or both and for deciphering in the stratigraphic record whether there is a key signature for distinguishing tsunami from storm deposits. This interdisciplinary RAPID proposal will also integrate quantitative descriptions of the flooding zone from an engineering and geoscientific perspective with qualitative information from governmental entities.

快速：观察飓风桑迪罗伯特·魏斯（Sandyrobert Weiss），詹妮弗·L爱尔兰（Jennifer L Irish），弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，EAR-1312813ABSTRACTHURICANE SANDY于2012年10月29日在大西洋市附近登陆。Sandy被归类为I飓风;但是，一个非热带天气系统与桑迪合并，并造成了独特的情况，从而在新泽西州和纽约的海岸造成了灾难性的破坏。 为此，桑迪飓风产生的记录浪潮导致纽约和新泽西州的自然环境和自然环境造成创纪录的损失。 桑迪飓风提供了观察和收集信息的异常机会，目的是比较暴风雨引起的沉积沉积物与来自最近海啸的沉积沉积物。 由于损害赔偿的影响和严重性的幅度，PI将重点关注新泽西州和纽约。 在侦察调查中，PI将测量风暴潮的洪水高程和淹没，这是海啸侦察现场调查期间收集的类似数据。 这对于设计要么或两者的保护基础设施以及在地层记录中解密的保护性基础设施很重要，是否有将海啸与风暴沉积区分开的关键签名。 该跨学科快速提案还将从工程和地质学的角度将洪水区的定量描述与政府实体的定性信息相结合。
