Surf zone hyperbenthos of Belgian sandy beaches: seasonal patterns [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2001 Since surf zone hyperbenthos, although highly important in local food webs, has often been neglected and very little information is available, a survey of the Belgian sandy beaches was carried out from May 1996 until July 1997. Monthly samples were taken

Scaling surf zone turbulence [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 Turbulence in the surf zone, the shallow region adjacent to the shoreline, has a key role in beach erosion, fertilization, dispersal, and larval settlement of marine invertebrates, and microbial contamination dilution in beach waters. Breaking‐wave generated (the dominant source) surf zone turbulence is understood poorly.

Oil Transport in Surf Zone [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2000 Oil transport subjected to nearshore currents in the surf zone is considered using the mass conservation equation. Analytical solutions are obtained that describe the longshore distribution of oil deposition, as well as the length of the shoreline contaminated by oil slicks transported in the nearshore environment.

Nearshore oblique sand bars [PDF]
, 2003 The coupling between hydrodynamics and the evolving topography in the surf zone has been theoretically examined for oblique wave incidence. It is shown that positive feedback can lead to the initial growth of several types of rhythmic systems of sand ...

Surf-zone vortices over stepped topography [PDF]
, 2004 The problem of vortical motions in the surf zone is simplified by taking the bottom topography to be piecewise flat while allowing finite-height jumps in depth between flat regions.

Observations of nearshore and surf zone wind stress [PDF]
, 2014 Field data of the wind stress over surf zone waves is presented from an open ocean beach on the East Australian Coast. Two ultrasonic anemometers were deployed at nominal heights of 5 and 10 m above the water surface in the intertidal and inner surf ...

Measuring and modeling suspended sediment concentration profiles in the surf zone
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2012 Time-averaged suspended sediment concentration profiles across the surf zone were measured in a large-scale three-dimensional movable bed laboratory facility (LSTF: Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility).

Bed level changes in the surf zone during post-storm beach recovery
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The study of post-storm beach recovery is important for economic development and the protection of life in coastal areas. In this study, field observations were conducted for 21 days in the surf zone of Dongdao Beach, Hailing Island, China, after ...

Surf Zone Mapping Using Multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery
International Journal of Optics, 2019 Surf zone is a sand area that stretches inside a breaking wave to limit the rise and fall of waves on the beach. Advanced technology in the geomatics field offers a fast and accurate solution to produce surf zone maps.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This paper investigates the dynamics of the cross-shore extensions of banquettes, a sedimentary structure mostly made by rests of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, in a sandy urban beach located in the Gulf of Cagliari, Italy, western Mediterranean.
