Simulations of Setup, Infragravity Swash, and Incident Swash Compared
Detailed Description
Observations and XBeach simulations of setup (a), infragravity swash (b), and incident swash (c) compared to values parameterized using the Stockdon and others (2006) model. Comparisons to video-based observations are shown in green. Comparisons to numerical simulations using XBeach are shown in red and blue. Numerically simulated hurricane conditions (black) are used to determine if the parameterization can be extended to extreme storm events or modifications are needed.

Storm-Induced Coastal Processes
Process studies examine the physical processes at work prior to, during, and following coastal storm events. Understanding the processes involved in coastal landform evolution will improve the accuracy of the assessments of storm-induced coastal change hazards.
