| description abstract | Prediction of meteorological factors related to storm-caused beach erosion are discussed. Composite sea level pressure maps are presented for beach erosion events that occurred on the New Jersey and Long Island, New York, coasts. Significant meteorological conditions related to beach erosion are: 1) an angle between the predominant wind direction on the eroding beach and the orientation of the smoothed coastline of between 0° and 20° for Long Island, and between 20° and 40° for New Jersey; 2) a setup period of at least 18 h during which coastal winds do not vary more than 20° from the observed predominant wind direction; 3) at some time during the setup period the wind direction upstream for a distance at least 550 km does not vary more than 20° from the coastal wind direction; and 4) the upwind surface pressure gradient at some time during the setup period attains a value of at least 4 mb (200 km)?1 | |
