Download or read book Nearshore Infragravity Wave Generation written by Eileen M. Czarnecki and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These parameters affect the infragravity wave response in the following manner: a higher peak wave period leads to a higher magnitude of response; a higher offshore significant wave height leads to a higher magnitude of response; a narrower directional width leads to higher magnitude of response; increased bottom friction leads to a decreased magnitude of response; a shallower bathymetric profile leads to an increased magnitude of response; a higher bar amplitude leads to decreased magnitude of response, especially near the shoreline; a wider bar leads to a slightly higher magnitude of response; the bar being closer to the shore results in a narrower response pattern; obliquely incident waves lead to a decreased magnitude of response at the offshore boundary, although peak wave direction has little effect on response near the shoreline; a narrower frequency spectrum leads to a slightly decreased magnitude of response.
