Abstract: The effects of bottom friction on the estimation of breaking‐wave heights, breaking locations, and breaking angles, determined by using the RCPWAVE model, were examined. We used direct and a wave‐ray approaches to simulate ...

Abstract: Bed stresses in the bottom boundary layer of the York River estuary, Va., were estimated from 3D near-bottom velocities measured by Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADVs) and also by a profiling array of electromagnetic ...
