 | A process-based model was developed to predict the burial of bottom mines. The model has been validated In field experiments conducted on the near shelf off La Jolla, CA. The model was used by SPAWAR/San Diego to evaluate optimal configurations for a mine neutralization device delivered by marine mammals. The model features a coastal classification system to facilitate model initialization for 7 coastal types. |

|
| The long-term goals of this project were to advance the understanding of fluid-sediment interactions in fluid boundary layer under waves; and in this way to improve models of fluid transport of sediment, nutrients and contaminants. Improved modeling will lead to better understanding of bedform response to fluid forcing and to improved prediction of beach morphology. (MM) (SEE PAGE 1, 2ND PARAGRAPH, FOR ABSTRACT.

|
| A combination of field and laboratory experiments are made in order to expand our knowledge of naturally occurring oscillatory boundary layers. Chapter 1 describes field observations of the development of wave driven boundary layers at the fluid sediment interface. Under the crest of the wave, this development can be idealized as an identifiable sequence of three parts. The latter parts of this development are never observed to occur under the ... |

|
 | The intent of this report is to provide a broad picture of the physical, mechanical and geological processes pertaining to coastal engineering along the shorelines of southern California, and to give references to data sources. Citation to the originators of concepts, theories, etc. are not always given because this is a data summary for the region, not a review of the nearshore processes literature. Interested readers should consult the extensive ... |

|
| The wave climate at a site off Torrey Pines Beach, was studied using a line array of four pressure sensors which roughly parallels the coastline at a depth of 10 meters. The pressure sensors were linked to a shelf station that contained accelerometers and, at times, electromagnetic current meters and a surface-piercing staff. The data were transmitted by radio link to a shore recording station. Wave records were taken four ... |

|
| The purpose of this program was to investigate and develop a practical method for the management of sand influenced by littoral transport. The work covered laboratory research, field investigations, and tests. Initially, laboratory investigations of jet pumps, crater-sinks, and fluidization were conducted using specially designed apparatus. During the laboratory investigations a new principle of fluidization was developed. This new form of fluidization is called 'duct-flow' fluidization. Duct-flow, when used in ... |

|
| Three parallel range lines were established along a straight beach at Torrey Pines, California, and were surveyed at monthly intervals during June 1972 to May 1974. Offshore sand level changes were measured using reference rods placed in the bottom at selected stations on each range line. Beach profile measurements indicate that the beach underwent seasonal changes in configuration which are related to changes in the wave regime. During the summer ... |
