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

研究人员将研究物理过程、沉积物运输和岸面形态之间的物理和理论关系，这可能会导致对风暴主导与膨胀主导的岸面的理解。这将包括详细检查内陆架沉积物的形态和浓度的时间序列。部署声学仪器，能够更好地量化跨岸运输的风暴和膨胀主导的海岸面。模式将被修改，以考虑到同时承认波浪和风的作用的跨岸泥沙和流体运动。

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.
