Wave Breaking and Dissipation in the Nearshore

Abstract

The long range goal is a predictive understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of wave breaking in the nearshore, and the impact of wave breaking on the forcing of mean and oscillatory flows, sediment transport, and changes in large scale nearshore morphology.
