Abstract
Hurricane Claudette was successfully tracked for three days using the 2-s (7 m) surface wave direction field mapped by the U.S. Air Force OT H-B over-the-horizon radar 2400 km away on the coast of Maine. Inflow and fine structure of the surface circulation are apparent in streamli ne plots derived from surface wave direction measured with 60-km resol ution in the vicinity of the storm for five radar runs. The radar-deri ved track is within 60 km of that published by the NOAA National Hurri cane Center.
