Abstract: A new method is presented for estimating the reflection of a random, multidirectional sea from a coastal structure. The technique is applicable to an array of wave gauges of arbitrary geometry deployed seaward of the ...

Abstract: Alongshore gradients in wave energy and propagation direction were observed near a pier that extends 500 m from the Duck, N.C., shoreline to about 6-m water depth. When incident waves approached the beach obliquely, wave ...
