  • 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...

  • Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

    Creator:
    Killian, Jason R.
    Abstract:
    Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...
