Reports
Litigation often requires a meteorology report. Most hurricane reports necessitate a timeline of sustained wind speed, wind gusts, water elevation (if a surge occurred in the region), and wave height estimates, as well as general information about the event. Dr. Fitzpatrick has generated site-specific reports utilizing all available data, including situ winds, hurricane reconnaissance, NOAA products, tide gauge, and high water marks, supplemented by a storm surge model for coastal flooding.
Other reports have supported litigation resulting from severe weather events such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, wind events, and anomalous wave conditions offshore.
Often, a subpoena is issued for a deposition and all available data used in a report. It's important to hire an expert who has experience in handling these stressful moments since they often determine whether a dispute will go to court or will settle.
