Mixing and Transport in the Surfzone
Abstract
The long-term goal, better understanding surfzone mixing and transport, would allow improved prediction of the fate of terrestrial runoff pollution and other substances (e.g. fine sediment, chemicals) sometimes present in very shallow water. Objectives were to (1) develop improved methods to measure breaking wave-driven mixing and transport in the natural surf zone, (2) obtain field observations that can be used test and calibrate numerical models for surfzone mixing and transport.
