Wave variance partitioning in the trough of a barred beach

Creator:

Howd, Peter A., Oltman-Shay, Joan, and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

The wave-induced velocity field in the nearshore is composed of contributions from incident wind waves (f > 0.05 Hz), surface infragravity waves (f < 0.05 Hz, lkl < (σ²/gβ) and shear waves (f < 0.05 Hz, lkl > σ²/gβ), where ƒ is the frequency, σ = 2πf, k is the...

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...
