Dauphin Island Littoral Transport Calculations.

Abstract

Computations of annual gross and net littoral transport seaward of the breaker zone are made for the area offshore Dauphin Island, Alabama by means of a numerical model. Forty-four combinations of significant wave height and period are considered but only two deep water wave directions; waves approaching at angles of forty-five and one hundred thirty-five degrees relative to the shoreline. Results are presented in tabular and graphic form. (Author)
