Abstract

A mathematical procedure is described with the aim of estimating short-term shoreline variations. The approach is fully deductive; the procedure being composed of different models that, starting from the atmospheric pressure distribution, evaluate in sequence the wind, current, wave fields, the breaking conditions, the coastal currents and finally the littoral transport. A comparison is made between visual observations of the shoreline evolution and, at one location, the variation of the bottom profile.
