| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: This report is a compilation of data on longshore sediment transport and associated wave and sediment characteristics from six laboratory studies and four field studies. Laboratory observations include water depth, wave height, wave period, median grain size, wave generator angle with the toe of the beach, and longshore transport rate. Laboratory wave heights range from 0.035 to 0 .51 foot, periods from 0.75 to 3.75 seconds, depth from 0.49 to 2.33 feet, generator angles from 10 to 50 degrees, initial beach slope from 1:5.6 to 1:33, median grain size from 0.22mm to 1.55mm, and specific gravities from 1.1 to 2.69. The maximum transport rate in studies near Anaheim Bay, California, is 2,130 cubic yards per day, north. The maximum rate near South Lake Worth Inlet, Florida, is 1,300 cubic yards per day, south. The estimated transport rate at Cape Thompson, Alaska, is 4,680 cubic yards per day. The maximum rate at Silver Strand Beach, California, is 3,400 cubic yard per day. |
