Quantifying Bore‐Bore Capture on Natural Beaches [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020
AbstractBore‐bore capture occurs when a faster moving bore captures a slower moving bore or the shoreline while both are propagating shoreward in the surf or swash zones and is quantified here for the first time using wave tracking methods applied to data collected at seven sandy Australian beaches. The results showed that, for the locations where bore‐
