Figure 50. Sample aerial photograph taken 27 October 1982 reported only two hurricanes in a season. Two of the named storms (including one hurricane) generated and dissipated in the Gulf of Mexico and consequently had no effect on the FRF. Hurricane Debby produced only slightly above aver- age waves, and Tropical Storms Beryl and Ernesto may have been responsible for some long-period low swell evident in the data. The NOAA National Hurricane Center attributes this unusually tranquil summer and early fall to unseasonable westerly winds in the upper atmosphere which inhibited the process of tropical cyclone development. 91
