Evaluation of Nearshore Profile Predictions

Abstract

Currently, there are a number of models capable of predicting hydrodynamic and bathymetric evolution across the nearshore profile. These models encompass horizontally 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional evolution. Also, there are a number of hydrodynamic and bathymetric data sets, which span time periods of days E.G., Birkemeier and Thornton, 1994 to decades E.G., Wijnberg, 1995. Yet, the skill of existing nearshore process models at predicting observed nearshore bathymetric change over a range of time-scales has not been well described.
