“…Video monitoring systems developed after the apparition of digital cameras, have shown to be a powerful and low-cost tool to monitor the coast in a wide range of studies, such as, coastal variability (Nieto et al, 2010;Simarro et al, 2015), intertidal bathymetry (Aarninkhof et al, 2003) or evolution of beach systems (Ojeda and Guillén, 2008). Since video systems have the advantage of providing continuous monitoring of coastal areas they are also a valuable tool to validate numerical models (Salmon et al, 2007;Andrade et al, 2013;Morales-Márquez et al, 2018;Osorio et al, 2019). In this work, we have used video images from the HORUS monitoring system 3 at Bocagrande, to validate the run-up provided by SWASH model.…”
