Coastal Overwash: Part 2, Upgrade to SBEACH
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE. This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) provides information about an improved capability to mathematically model overwash caused by elevated water elevation and wave runup. An upgrade to SBEACH (Storm-induced BEAch CHange Model, a numerical model for simulating storm-induced beach profile change) is described to simulate sediment transport and subaerial profile response by overwash associated with wave runup. The enhanced SBEACH model is validated with field data on overwash of protective dunes at Ocean City, MD, and overwash of the low and wide northern end of Assateague Island, MD. The new algorithm replaces that of Kraus and Wise (1993) previously employed in SBEACH.

Scaling laws for coastal overwash morphology
Overwash is a physical process of coastal sediment transport driven by storm events and is essential to landscape resilience in low-lying barrier environments. This work establishes a comprehensive set of scaling laws for overwash morphology: unifying quantitative descriptions with which to compare overwash features by their morphological attributes across case examples. Such scaling laws also ...

The dependency between the accuracy/uncertainty of storm erosion exceedance estimates obtained via a probabilistic model and the level of sophistication of the structural function (storm erosion model) embedded in the probabilistic model is assessed via the application of Callaghan et al.'s (2008) Joint Probability Model (JPM) at Narrabeen beach, Australia with three different structural functi...
متن کاملCoastal foraminifera from the Iranian coast of Makran, Oman Sea (Chabahar Bay to Gawater Bay) as an indicator of tsunamis
Extreme coastal inundation associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean and 1945 Makran tsunamigenic-earthquakes highlight the risk of tsunamis to coastlines of the northern Oman Sea. Foraminifera have been used as indicators of paleotsunamis in the past where allochthonous tests, found in low-energy environments such as in coastal lagoons, ponds, and marshes, indicate marine overwash. In this study, ...

Coast contains an important environmental value which is subjected to a great pressure, hard to arrange with the intense economic activity that takes place. The sand coasts with low height above sea level are the most sensitive to this stress. It is due to the dynamic nature caused by their interaction with the other systems and the natural values they have. Llobregat river delta is a coastal l...
متن کاملBarrier Island Morphology and Sediment Characteristics Affect the Recovery of Dune Building Grasses following Storm-Induced Overwash
Barrier islands are complex and dynamic systems that provide critical ecosystem services to coastal populations. Stability of these systems is threatened by rising sea level and the potential for coastal storms to increase in frequency and intensity. Recovery of dune-building grasses following storms is an important process that promotes topographic heterogeneity and long-term stability of barr...
