2016年2月4日 · Relaxing soundscape of a heavy storm on the beach that sounds more like a hurricane. There's nothing more relaxing than been snuggled up in bed listening to a storm raging outside and hearing...

2024年11月1日 · Storms decrease beach resilience on a retreating micro-tidal beach. Storms drive energetic waves and induce high water levels on the nearshore. Hence, they are commonly associated with negative effects on the coast (i.e., beach erosion and coastal flooding).

2020年6月4日 · Hurricanes and other extreme storms generate storm surge and large waves, eroding the beach and dune system and reshaping the coastal landscape. During the most extreme events, changes can occur across the width of an entire barrier island.

2023年8月1日 · In this study, the physical process of cross-shore sediment transport on sandy beach under storm and non-storm waves is quantitatively investigated by simulating step varying storm waves with varying water levels and non-storm regular waves with constant water levels in wave flume with mild beach slope tan θ = 1 / 10. Non-intrusive high ...

2024年5月1日 · This study presents the results of a new set of beach profile evolution process which considers the combined effects of tide and storm waves. Compared with the mean tidal level situation, tide induced water level variations significantly changes the erosion pattern of …

During the onset of the storm, onshore winds and waves piled significant volumes of water along the barrier islands producing storm overwash, eroding shorelines (see images below), and relatively robust storm surge in back bay areas along the mainland (see images below), although nothing is comparable to the levels observed during Katrina on ...

2019年6月5日 · The profiles of beaches change in response to changing wave conditions, which can occur on a seasonal timeframe or during an individual storm. For many areas, low-energy waves dominate in the summer and storm waves dominate in the winter; thereby, coastal geomorphologists use seasonal descriptors to distinguish between low- and high-energy wave ...

2014年1月1日 · The storm beach is characterized by a particular profile configuration and generally by a unique sediment distribution as well. Storms typically cause rather extensive beach erosion that results in a beach profile nearly uniformly sloping in a seaward direction with a slight concave-upward configuration ( Hayes, 1969 ).

To mitigate coastal erosion, the federal government spends an average of $150 million every year on beach nourishment and other shoreline erosion control measures. 1 In addition to beach erosion, more than 80,000 acres of coastal wetlands are lost annually—the equivalent of seven football fields disappearing every hour of every day. 2 The ...

Storm surges, caused by a combination of low barometric pressure and high onshore winds, can raise sea level by several meters. Waves and storm surges are responsible for severe flooding and...
