Mizushima island located in Tsuruga Bay is a famous recreational beach in Fukui Prefecture. This beach has been eroded in recent years. The topographic changes and tide level changes at Tsuruga Port were measured. On the basis of these field data, the contour-line-change model proposed by Noshi et al. was applied to the prediction of beach changes. It was concluded that beach changes closely relate to the wave action along with the increase in tide level during passage of low pressure in summer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
