Brief description
Simultaneous time series measurements of waves, currents, sediment suspension and ripple crest positions were obtained from the nearshore of a micro-tidal low energy beach in southwestern Australia during two diurnal sea breeze cycles. This data was used to relate ripple behaviour to cyclic changes in hydrodynamic conditions due to a sea breeze.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Currents, waves, suspended sediment concentrations and ripple crest positions were recorded for 46 hrs on Quarry Beach at Garden Island. Further information is found in journal article.
