Abstract: A six‐year program, with a budget of $6 million, was undertaken by the Office of Sea Grant in 1976 to develop improved engineering predictive models for transport of sediment in and near the surf zone by waves and currents. ...

Abstract: An analytical technique is developed for correcting the time‐averaged net sediment transport rate under oscillatory flows for the effects of the cessation of transport whenever the magnitude of the near‐bottom velocity is ...

Abstract: Previous studies investigated the correlation between predictions of existing cross-shore transport models using observed surf zone parameters and the measured beach face responses from Torrey Pines Beach, California. ...

Abstract: Seven West Coast sites are selected having from one to three years of nearshore directional wave measurements several times a day during the period 1979–82. Time series of daily net longshore transport are estimated using ...

Abstract: A system is described for sampling coastal data from a remote central station under computer control. The data gathering network handles wave measurements from offshore buoys and nearshore pressure sensors, and velocity ...
