Abstract

Hurricane Michael was a Category 5 hurricane when it made landfall on the Florida Panhandle on 10 October 2018. The data subset of the Hurricane Michael Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System for Tropical Cyclones (COAMPS-TC)  was utilized for the manuscript "In situ observations at the air-sea interface by expendable air-deployed drifters under Hurricane Michael (2018)". Zonal and meridional 10-m winds were subset for designated time steps and interpolated to the time and location of the drifter observations. The wind fields were used in calculations of wave age and to compare to drifter observed winds and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Earth Reanalysis version 5 reanalysis (ERA5) wind.
