Hydrodynamics at a microtidal inlet: Analysis of propagation of the main wave components
Lorenzo Melito,Matteo Postacchini,Alex Sheremet,Joseph Calantoni,Gianluca Zitti,Giovanna Darvini,Pierluigi Penna,Maurizio Brocchini +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of different wave components as they propagate within a microtidal inlet during a storm occurring from 24-26 January 2014 is analyzed, in order to improve knowledge on how micro-tidal river mouths typical of the Adriatic Sea behave.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring for Coastal Resilience: Preliminary Data from Five Italian Sandy Beaches.
Luca Parlagreco,Lorenzo Melito,Saverio Devoti,Eleonora Perugini,Luciano Soldini,Gianluca Zitti,Maurizio Brocchini +6 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results of an ongoing, long-term monitoring programme of five sandy Italian beaches along the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian sea indicate that most of the beach width variations can be linked to discrete variations of sandbar systems, and most of all to an offshore migration and decay of the outermost bars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sandbar dynamics in microtidal environments: Migration patterns in unprotected and bounded beaches
Lorenzo Melito,Luca Parlagreco,Eleonora Perugini,Matteo Postacchini,Saverio Devoti,Luciano Soldini,Gianluca Zitti,Luca Liberti,Maurizio Brocchini +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, bar locations and motions are analyzed with video imagery data sets from coastal monitoring stations, and the Copernicus oceanographic model is used to correlate hydrodynamics and beach morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave-Current Interactions and Infragravity Wave Propagation at a Microtidal Inlet
Lorenzo Melito,Matteo Postacchini,Alex Sheremet,Joseph Calantoni,Gianluca Zitti,Giovanna Darvini,Maurizio Brocchini +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the complex nonlinear interactions that drive infragravity waves is presented in the context of an observed river mouth bar formed in the lower reach of the Misa River.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waves and Currents at a River Mouth: The Role of Macrovortices, Sub-Grid Turbulence and Seabed Friction
TL;DR: In this article, the role played by turbulence of scales smaller than the water depth and by seabed friction on the dissipation of the mentioned macrovortices was investigated.
