Cross-Shoreface Suspended Sediment Transport: A Response to the Intersection of Nearshore and Shelf Processes

OCE-9504198研究人员将研究物理过程、泥沙输送和海岸面形态之间的物理和理论关系，这可能有助于理解风暴主导的海岸面和洪水主导的海岸面。这将涉及详细检查内陆架沉积物的形态和浓度的时间序列。建议在风暴和涌浪占主导地位的海面上部署能够更好地量化跨岸运输的声学仪器。将对模型进行修改，以考虑交叉短面泥沙和流体运动，从而认识到波浪和风力的同时作用。

OCE-9504198 The investigators will examine physical and theoretical relationships among physical processes, sediment transport and morphology across shoreface, which might lead to understanding of storm-dominated vs. swell-dominated shorefaces. This will involve detailed examination of time-series of morphology and concentration of inner shelf sediments. Deployment of acoustic instruments that are better capable of quantifying cross-shore transport are proposed for both storm and swell-dominated shorefaces. Models will be modified to account for cross-shorface sediment and fluid motion which recognize the simultaneous contribution of both wave and wind forcing.
