Barograph of landfalling hurricane!

[Guest]

The question that was asked by Azskyman was.
Are there any barographs online or off line of landfalling hurricanes that one could view? I beleive that was the question.
First for those that don't know what a barograph is. A barograph is a meteological instrument that measure barometric change and records the changes on a card or paper for a 24 hour period
A recording instrument that provides a continuous trace of air pressure variation with time.
I knew I had seen some mention before of a reference of a barograph reading during a landfalling hurricane. In October 1898 a major hurricane made landfall in Northeast Florida and Coastal Georgia. This event has been researched by Al Sandrik and Chris Landsea, and they released a paper on it a while back. I haven't gone through it again, but yes I beleive there are copies of a barograph for this storm. I also remembered a storm that affected the Pacific Northwest back in the early 1960's, and the links are provied below.

There are more then likely barograph recordings available through NOAA, but I wouldn't even begin to guess where to look or ask how to make copies. They would be on microfilm I'm sure.
After further study, I did a search, and found these articles:
NOAA Library may have then available:

At the AMS, Monthly Weather Reviews may have copies:

I hope this helps, they are hard to find.
