In situ Observations of Wave Transformation and Infragravity Bore Development Across Reef Flats of Varying Geomorphology
The character and energetics of infragravity (“IG,” 25 s < period < 250 s) and very-low frequency (“VLF,” period > 250 s) waves over coral reef flats can enhance shoreline erosion or accretion, and also govern extreme shoreline events such as runup, overwash, and flooding on cor...
