Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical parameterization of setup, swash, and runup
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical parameterization for extreme runup, defined by the 2% exceedence value, has been developed for use on natural beaches over a wide range of conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical use of video imagery in nearshore oceanographic field studies
TL;DR: In this article, an approach was developed for using video imagery to quantify, in terms of both spatial and temporal dimensions, a number of naturally occurring (nearshore) physical processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The history and technical capabilities of Argus
Robert A. Holman,J. Stanley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the components of the Argus Stations with an emphasis on quantitative characterization of the accuracies and resolution of system components, and present algorithms for estimation of a range of important nearshore measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial and temporal variability of sand bar morphology
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal variability of nearshore sand bar morphology is quantified using a unique data set spanning 2 years, which consists of daily time exposure images of incident wave breaking on an open coast sandy beach which may be used to infer bar morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of sand bar morphology: A video technique based on wave dissipation
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is presented to remotely measure the scales and morphology of natural sand bars based on the preferential dissipation of wind waves and swell over the crests of the bar.
