Cold waves and winter monsoon in East Asia : with special reference to south China
Definition of cold waves from the statistical and synoptic climatological standpoints| cold airmass movement stream lines and wind component for the main three types of cold waves in south China| cold waves by the Geostationary Meteorological
Satellite Himawari images in winter 1986/87 and typical cold waves in relation to winter monsoon situations such as the cases in January and February 1963.
Bypassing of sand over sand waves and through a sand wave field in the central region of the Southern North Sea in Tide-influenced sedimentary environments and facies.
A sand wave field lies uncomfortably in the middle of a slightly undulating, current swept lag gravel pavement between Sandettie and South Falls banks in the central region of the Southern Bight of the Southern North Sea. - (L'A.).

The sea wave parameters are associated with the pressure systems and their effect on water surface. - (SBV)
The littoral zone is one of the most complex geomorphic systems subject to many geomorphological factors, including waves, sediment supply, climate sea levels and tectonics.
The purpose of this article is to present seven types of sandy shoreface-barrier evolution that are representative of the low-, moderate-, and high-wave-energy sections of the coast and to discuss the implications for Holocene shoreline evolution.
The articles in this issue emphasize two primary themes in coastal geomorphology : nearshore processes and landform changes. The articles focused on process chiefly examine the sources and actions of energy that is dissipated by waves
Recent advances in understanding of sand movement in the surf zone provide a basis to discuss future directions of research. Problems exist in relating sediment flux and landform responses to waves, tides, and currents despite improved acquisition
-stationary ridges and runnels may reflect swash-bar growth by constructive short-period waves, especially on macrotidal coasts| 2) mobile ridges and runnels may be muted expressions of longshore bars and throughs migrating onshore| 3) ridges and runnels may
The results of this study document the mechanisms for formation of dune hollows by foredune accretion and identify the strong relationship between wave processes and location, orientation, and shape of depressions. Wind plays a role in the formation
is a good predictor of height of the outer bar, depth to the crest, and offshore distance| bar number correlates significantly with decreased nearshore slope. Incident waves are the dominant control on nearshore bar formation and maintenance during storms.
A temporal sequence of dissipative barrier, reflective barrier and inner reflective (barrier face)/outer dissipative (subtidal) wave regimes match respectively periods of barrier crest build up by crestal dune development, barrier crest instability
Northeast of Dover Strait the tails of both Sandettie and South Falls bank converge to confine a narrow ebb dominated passage flanked by fields of large sand waves. Two thirds of the channel floor is barred by a transverse ridge of gravel that forms
