Predicting the longshore-variable coastal response to hurricanes

Creator:: Stockdon, Hilary F.
Abstract:: The longshore variability of the coastal response to hurricanes may be examined within the framework of a storm-impact scaling model that compares spatially-variable beach morphology and fluid forcing. The relative elevations of dune height and storm-induced water levels are used to define three impact regimes (swash, collision, and overwash), within...

The sediment response of a dissipative beach to variations in wave climate

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Using wave and wind data from nearby buoys and gauges, real time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and light detection and ranging (lidar) topographic survey data, and a robust video record, we have quantified the Large Scale Coastal Behavior (LSCB) of a dissipative end member beach in the Pacific Northwest....

Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

Creator:: Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
Abstract:: Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

Beach foreshore response to long-period waves in the swash-zone

Creator:: Howd, Peter A.
Abstract:: A field experiment designed to test the hypothesis that infragravity and lower frequency waves influence the patterns of erosion and deposition on the beach foreshore has been carried out. The data show coherent fluctuations in the foreshore sediment level which can be related to low frequency wave motions. The fluctuations...

Statistical distribution of swash maxima on natural beaches

Creator:: Holland, K. Todd
Abstract:: Beach response to overwash processes is a topic of significant importance. Two particular aspects of this topic were chosen for detailed analysis: the distribution of maximum wave runup elevations and the cross-beach celerity gradient of overwash bores on natural beaches. Data were collected using both traditional nearshore instrumentation and recently...
