Sediment Transport Analysis from OBS/EMCM During Storms
The Coastal Engineering Technical Note (CETN) herein provides information and procedures for analyzing instantaneous measurements of currents and suspended sand to estimate longshore sand transport during storms. The information and procedures described in this CETN will assist others in developing similar and improved measurement techniques. Longshore sand transport is a primary factor in many coastal engineering studies and influences coastal erosion, impoundment at structures, channel infilling, and morphological behavior of ebb shoals, spits, and capes. A significant portion of longshore sediment transport occurs during coastal storms. To quantify and characterize longshore transport induced by the combined influences of waves and currents, the Sediment Transport Processes (STORM) Work Unit has measured currents and instantaneous concentration of suspended sand across the surf zone during storms.
