WAVE TRANSFORMATION OVER PALM BEACH REEF. (2023). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 37, waves.46. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v37.waves.46
Abstract
Ocean wave parameters are influenced by shallowing water depth and varying bottom topography. Modelling and in-situ studies have found that as waves propagate over a reef, interaction in the form of friction with the shallower reef can alter wave height, wave period, wavelength, and wave direction. Submerged structures such as coral and rock-based reefs provide an uncertain amount of shoreline protection. Quantifying wave transformation over submerged structures will inform and aid in the design of future coastal protections.References
