Development and Validation of Depth Inversion Algorithms for Barred-Beaches Based on Nonlinear Properties of Shoaling Waves

Abstract

The long-term goal of this work is to develop methods for predicting the bottom topography in nearshore regions, based on characteristics of (shoaling) surface waves, measured using remote sensing methods. We are particularly interested in the surfzone region, over barred-beaches, where large wave nonlinearity and breaking occur.
