A climatology of hurricane factors important to storm surges is presented for the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts of the United States. Factors presented are: frequency of entering, exiting, and alongshore hurricanes; ratio of tropical storms to hurricanes; central pressures of hurricanes and tropical storms; radius of maximum winds and speed of forward motion for hurricanes; and direction of motion for entering hurricanes.
