dc.descriptionTechnical note-
dc.descriptionPurpose: To present a procedure to calculate potential longshore sand transport rates using Wave Information Study (WIS) Phase III hindcast wave estimates. Refraction and shoaling of incident linear waves are calculated using Snell's law and conservation of wave energy flux. A shallow-water wave breaking criterion defines wave properties at the break point, and potential longshore sand transport rates are calculated by means of the energy flux method in the Shore Protection Manual (SPM 1984).-
