A technique is presented to remotely measure the scales and morphology of natural sandbars based
on the preferential dissipation of wind waves and swell over the crests of the bar. Photographic or
video images are recorded and statistical uncertainties associated with incident wave height modulations
removed by averaging (time exposures)....
