Points of Interest:
The mountains of Puerto Rico showextreme winds due to topological acceleration.
Shallows near Anegada and Vieques affect surge.
Details of the Virgin Islands are not well resolved at this resolution.

Points of Interest:
The western Islands, Saba to Montserrat, show some topological effects on the winds.
Surge among the islands shows complicated interactions. The pattern of waves is simple, by contrast.
Antigua, Barbuda and St. Martin may deserve closer study.

The projection of the illustrations is Plate Carrée, a square grid of latitude and longitude. North-South distances are true to scale. East-West distances are stretched 3.2% at 14.25 degrees North, and stretched 4.4% at 16.67 degrees North. All model results were calculated using great-circle distances based on the WGS84 datum.

Points of Interest:
The western half of Guadeloupe shows some of the most extreme winds in this Atlas, due to topological acceleration on the mountains there. Dominica also has extreme winds.
Surge focuses near Point á Pitre, Guadeloupe.

The projection of the illustrations is Plate Carrée, a square grid of latitude and longitude. North-South distances are true to scale. East-West distances are stretched 2.1% at 11.5 degrees North, and stretched 3.2% at 14.25 degrees North. All model results were calculated using great-circle distances based on the WGS84 datum.

Points of Interest:
This is the southeastern corner of the “hurricane band.” Storm systems may form out in the Atlantic, but they seldom reach their full force before approaching Barbados. After that, the storms almost always pass north and west. Therefore, likely storm effects increase sharply from south to north in this region.
The Grenadines are not well-detailed at this resolution.
