| Description: | Technical note PURPOSE: The Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) described herein provides information about simple, inexpensive field techniques for quantifying current patterns in the vicinity of coastal structures such as breakwaters, jetties, and groins. Although these techniques cannot produce a complete picture of the flow regime, they do provide reliable information that can be included with other analyses to understand and solve coastal engineering problems. The techniques are illustrated by application to Aguadilla Harbor, Puerto Rico. |
