A Beach Probing System (BPS) for Determining Surf Zone Bathymetry, Currents, and Wave Heights from Measurements Offshore

Abstract

Our goal is to investigate, using both simulated and field data, the feasibility of using offshore measurements of the surface gravity wave field to remotely sense the inshore environment (hydrography, currents, and breakers).
