Numerical model results indicate that there exist obvious upwellings in the coastal area along Zhejiang and Fujian coast during every season and their intensity and spatial distribution have distinct seasonal variability. The stronger upwelling centres are mostly located in the vicinity of Zhoushan Islands and Yushan Archipelago of Zhejiang coast, Haitan Island and Mazu Archipelago of Fujian coast. In addition, the mean upwelling velocity is about 0.3 x 10(-3) cm/s and the magnitude of upwelling intensity is 10(-3) cm/s in winter, while in summer they are about 0.3 x 10(-2) cm/s and 10(-2) cm/s, respectively. The modelling results also show that the change rate of upwelling intensity is less in wintertime with the weaker coastal upwelling but quite to the contrary in summertime.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"59 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 226 – 230. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 Large coastal and inland dunefields often consist of multiple generations defined by periods of stability and reactivation. Where earlier phases of aeolian activity are masked by subsequent deposition, continuous highresolution geophysical images help to reconstruct the history of landscape change. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) profiles from relict Holocene dunes on the northern Curonian Spit, Lithuania reveal distinct contacts between older deposits (barrier-spit facies, older aeolian strata, paleosols) and overlying dune sands. Early stages of dune migration began prior to 6,000 years B.P. followed by several periods of stabilisation and subsequent reactivation. Parabolic and transverse dunes, some attaining heights of 40-60 m, have migrated to the east in response to westerly winds from the Baltic Sea. In several places, similar to a number of sites in Northern Europe, the upper sections of large dunes have been deflated leaving near-horizontal exposures where subsurface imaging extends the continuity of key stratigraphic horizons. Within dune sequences, oblique lateral accretion surfaces indicate the direction of earlier migration phases and exhibit distinct meso-scale geometries. In GPR images and shallow trenches, buried slipfaces have dip angles varying from 10-15o to 31-34o, the latter being similar to the angle of repose maintained by modern unvegetated dunes. A series of cores taken through sequences of stacked buried slipfaces show little visible variation in sediment properties with depth, suggesting that minor changes in texture, mineralogy and grain packing may be responsible for individual reflections in geophysical records. Occasionally, laterally extensive horizons enriched in heavy minerals produce prominent subsurface reflections and are indicative of periods of increased wind activity.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"64 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Waves and climate change on the Australian coast, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 432 – 437. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208. There is a need to plan for the impacts of coastal erosion in response to climate change Australia-wide. A deepwater wave climatology of the Australian region is determined, which is required as boundary conditions for coastal wave models. Available wave data for the Australian region has been analysed to determine the mean climatology and interannual variability of mean significant wave height. Available data includes global wave model output from the ECMWF 45-yr re-analysis, ERA-40; corrected ERA-40 wave heights and the NOAA WaveWatch III operational wave model; satellite altimetry measurements; and data from a network of 30 waverider buoys surrounding the Australian coast located on the inner-mid continental shelf and some short-term deep-water wave-rider buoy deployments. These data have been analysed to determine the long-term mean, annual cycle and interannual variability of the mean Australian wave climate. Correlation with a number of climate indices in the Australian region indicate that southern ocean wind anomalies are a dominant mechanism responsible for variability of wave climate in the region. Correlation between monthly mean significant wave heights and the Southern Oscillation Index is significant along Australia’s eastern margin.

Sandy beach profile response to sloping seawalls: an experimental study. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 334 – 337. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208. Seawalls are commonly used as a tool for coastal defence worldwide. Most previous studies have considered the case of vertical seawalls and descriptions of existing seawalls, rather than the influence of different designs of sloping seawalls on beach erosion. In this study, laboratory investigations of an undistorted moveable bed model were conducted to determine the resulting beach profile of artificial sandy beaches. In the experiments, three different sloping seawalls were considered under erosive wave conditions with a 50-year return period. The coast of Northern Jiangsu Province, China, is used as a case study. To simulate natural conditions, similarity criteria are developed assuming that the energy dissipation per unit volume along the beach profile is uniform and that the wave properties can be properly scaled by Froude criteria. Field surveys of beach profile changes due to the storm surge induced by Typhoon 9711 were taken to validate the experimental model and good agreements were attained. Spatial profile configurations were studied by examining dominant profile features such as the break point bar and the scour trough on the seawall-backed profiles. Experimental results provided a reference for the maintenance of artificial sandy beaches and the design of seawalls on the coast of Northern Jiangsu Province, China.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"63 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality assessment of the armourstones for some Black Sea rubble mound breakwaters, Turkey. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 190 – 194. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 The Black Sea coastline is a hazardous region in Turkey, especially in winter, due to the dominant wave action. Therefore, rubble mound breakwaters used as ship shelters are vital structures, especially for the fishermen. Construction of the breakwater requires good quality, durable armourstones. Due to the nature of the rubble mound breakwaters, armourstones of various sizes and types are used in the construction of these structures. The deterioration of these armourstones with time may result in the failure of the breakwater. In this study, the quality and durability of the armourstones (mainly limestone, andesite and sandstone) used or to be used in three rubble mound breakwaters are investigated through field and laboratory studies. Among the studied armourstones, the three limestones are found to be good in long-term quality and durability. However, the sandstone displays poor performance, whereas the andesite is marginal. Both static durability index and CIRIA/CUR evaluation successfully predict the long-term durability of the armourstones.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"56 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate predictions may assist decision makers to implement appropriate evacuation plans necessary for the wellbeing of citizens. Coastal modeling is a key tool used to foresee hurricanes, storm surge, and flooding. Of the many models implemented, ADCIRC, a project of the University of North Carolina, seems to hold much promise. Our objectives in this study were multifold. First, we ascertained the current limitations of the ADCIRC model. We achieved this goal through a variety of means including ADCIRC benchmarks on single and multiple clusters as well as a gprof profile of ADCIRC on a single cluster. Then, based on the information obtained from these efforts, we suggested appropriate improvements to optimize ADCIRC. With the achievement of these objectives, we hope ADCIRC will become a vital tool in developing accurate evacuation plans under duress that will aid in saving a countless number of lives.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"42 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140368505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
