Longshore Transport at Total Littoral Barrier

Longshore sand transport study at Channel Islands Harbor, California / R.O. Bruno ... [et al.].

“…(b) For the phase I survey periods, the K values obtained here are substantially lower than those based on visual wave estimates obtained by Bruno and Gable (1976). Their average K value is 1.40 as compared to 0.98 obtained here for the Channel Islands data.…”

“…The results presented above comprise a total of 37 data points which, excluding Bruno and Gable's (1976) data, are summarized in Table 1 and presented in Figure 3. Figure 3 represents the SPM sand transport relationship in the dimensionless form of the equation.…”

“…Channel Islands Harbor, California (Bruno and Gable, 1976). Data in this report were based on the same general field program that is the subject of the present report.…”

“…The data collection program consisted of periodic bathymetric and topographic surveys, routine wave data from which longshore transport and the wave energy flux could be calculated, and sediment samples taken during the study period to obtain quantitative information on the sand size at the site. Much of the information used here was reported in Bruno and Gable (1976) . The wave data included both LEO (Berg, 1968;Bruno and Hiipakka, 1972) and gage data from two wave pressure sensors installed at the site.…”

Prediction of shore retreat and nearshore profile adjustments to rising water levels on the Great Lakes / by Edward B. Hands.

“…On the oceans, waves and tides create difficulties in establishing a datum. At times, it is impossible to distinguish the effect of long-period swell in creating waves on the sounding record from actual sand waves on the sea floor (Magoon and Sarlin, 1970;Bruno and Gable, 1976).…”
