Subtidal sandbars often exhibit alongshore variable patterns, such as crescentic plan shapes
and rip channels. While the initial formation of these patterns is reasonably well understood…

Mean alongshore currents observed on two barred beaches are compared with predictions
based on the one‐dimensional, time‐ and depth‐averaged alongshore momentum balance …

We compare predictions of a coupled, wave‐averaged, cross‐shore waves‐currents‐bathymetric
evolution model to observations of onshore and offshore nearshore sandbar migration. …

The temporal and spatial variability of crescentic sandbars is analyzed with hourly long‐term
(months) video observations collected at four barred sites and are qualitatively compared to …

Since its introduction in 1978, the Battjes and Janssen model has proven to be a popular
framework for estimating the cross-shore root-mean-square wave height H rms transformation …

The behaviour of a multiple bar system in the nearshore zone of the island of Terschelling,
the Netherlands, is investigated on the time scale of years using a data set of soundings. The …

Video measurements of swash were made at the low‐sloping beach of the multiple bar
system at Terschelling, Netherlands. The majority of the measurements were conducted under …

Nearshore morphodynamic models are computationally demanding, especially when the time
scale of interest is weeks or longer. Hence, they often rely on a simple parameterization or …

Monthly elevation surveys of a 1.5 km stretch of coast at Noordwijk, the Netherlands, were
made (1) to quantify seasonal variability in the cross-shore position of high-, mean- and low-…

Shore-parallel sandbar systems often exhibit considerable quasi-regular alongshore
variations, such as crescentic plan shapes. Therefore, morphological change in such systems …
