Spatiotemporal levee erosion and wavefront velocity dataset from in-situ wave overtopping experiments [PDF]
Scientific DataDuring extreme storm events, waves that run-up and overtop levees cause a significant hydraulic load on the landside slopes. In order to determine the effects of these loads on the flood risk, it is necessary to determine the sensitivity of the landside ...
