Beach erosion and accretion on the Palisadoes, south-east Jamaica, is a diurnal phenomenon, caused by changes in wave form in response to the local sea-land breeze regime. Sea breezes generate destructive wave forms which remove sediment from
the foreshore. These waves decay when the land breeze operates, and sediment is returned to the foreshore by constructive wave action. For this area, meteorological data are a satisfactory substitute for wave data in prediction of short-term beach erosion
Wave structures and turbulent features of the winter airflow in southern Wyoming in Interpretation of windflow characteristics from Eolian landforms.
Data from airborne air-sensing probes reveal wave structures in the planetary boundary layer of the atmosphere in the wind corridor of south-central Wyoming. The airflow, which is nearly laminar throughout much of the region, responds in a series
of resonant lee waves when it encounters topographic obstacles. Gravity waves and turbulent mixing are associated with a downward transport of vertical momentum and occur in the region of accelerated windflow in the central Wyoming wind corridor. Kelvin
-Helmholtz waves are prevalent in the area of hydraulic jump at Windy Gap. Understanding of such waves and their controls is essential to siting of wind-energy systems in high-wind regions like the Wyoming wind corridor and in interpreting the mechanisms
Sediment supply and morphogenic response on a high wave energy west coast in Geomorphology of changing coastlines.
In an attempt to assess the influence of high wave energy on the coast of Central Chile, measurements have been made relating the area of drainage basins to the extent of sandy coastline, area of beaches and area of dunes. Analysis of granulometry
and mineralogy of beaches and dunes, in relation to fluvial sands, supports the conclusion that the coastal sand deposits of Central Chile have been much mixed, and distributed alongshore, by strong wave energy and there is a possibility that the sand from
Wave-induced longshore currents and sea level changes during the last 7 000 years played an important role in the construction of the Quaternary coastal plains adjacent to the present Paraiba do Sul river mouth. The river acted as a hydraulic groin
