The Geometry of Selected U.S. Tidal Inlets.

Abstract

The geometry of the throat and ebb delta of 67 U.S. tidal inlets is investigated. Thirteen parameters indicative of the tidal inlet geometry are defined and measured with correlations developed. The correlation study indicated a number of strong statistical relationships with minimum inlet width cross-sectional area being particularly important. Cluster analysis and discriminant analysis are applied to the data and an objective classification of the inlets into six groups achieved. (Author)
