dc.description.abstract |
The annual variation in the net long shore sediment transport rates at three South African and at one North African site is investigated. The net rates at these sites, given in the first table, showed large variations. It was found that measurements of long shore transport rates should be conducted continuously for 5–8 years in order to obtain an accurate value (within 10%) of the true long-term mean net long shore transport rate. A second table was drawn up, which can be applied to determine the range in which the true mean rate will fall if measurements were done over a shorter period than the recommended 5–8 years. It is reasonable to expect that the conclusions are widely applicable, especially for exposed sites. It is recommended that an accurate assessment of the long-term mean net long shore transport rate at a site can best be made cost-effectively by doing limited site-specific measurements, calibrating the best long shore transport formula for the particular site, and predicting the transport rates using a representative wave climate. |
