This report provides basic data and summaries for the reasurements made during 1988 at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) Coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC's) Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC. The report includes comparisons of the present year's data to cumulative statistics from 1980 to the present. Summarized in this report are meteorological and oceanographic data, monthly bathymetric survey results, samples of quarterly aerial photography, and descriptions and hourly data for 13 storms that occurred during the year. The year was highlighted by the close passage of Hurricane Charley in August. Waves with 4-m significant height were measured at a location 6 km from shore. This report is eighth in a series of annual summaries of data collected at the FRF. The seven previous ones are as follows: a. CERC Miscellaneous Report 82-16, which summarizes data collected during 1977-79. b. Technical Report CERC-84-1, which summarizes data collected during 1980. c.
