Brief description
Ripple height, length and sediment composition were measured in the nearshore of several low-energy beaches with concurrent measurements of incident waves. The distribution of sediment sizes over individual ripples was investigated, and the performance of several models of ripple geometry prediction was tested both spatially and temporally.Lineage

Statement: The field sites were located on the central west coast of Western Australia between Coolimba and Garden island. There were 328 cross-shore sediment samples measuring sediment size distribution. Waves were measured with a Druck pressure sensor at 4 Hz for 17 mins, or 4096 data points, at one to five locations cross-site at site. The dimensions of a total of 164 subaqueous ripples were measured.
