Abstract

ABSTRACT Montreuil, A-L.; Elyahyioui, J., and Chen, M., 2016. Impact of local wind and atmospheric circulation patterns on coastal morphological changes along the Belgian coast. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 755–759. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Large scale atmospheric circulation is an important component of wind forcing which in turn control strom surge generation. The study aim is to evaluate the impact of large-scale atmospheric flow and wind on the occurrence of storm surges causing significant morphological impacts along the Belgian coast. An objective classification scheme of the atmospheric circulation affecting the North Sea basin is used for almost 150-years (1871–2014). The observed storm surge events associated with erosion are examined with respect to the circulation weather types (CWTs) and the winter No...
