- Abstract
- This study employed the wave spectrum propagation model MTKE21.NSW (Danish Hydraulic Institute) to calculate wave transformations landward of the Sandbridge Shoal sand borrow site in the Atlantic Ocean near Virginia Beach Virginia as the test case. A clearly defined and rational methodology has been developed to quantify the change in wave climate (energy) before and after long-term sand dredging at the borrow site. The methodology defines the wave climate and how it is employed to determine the location of a reference line landward of the borrow site.
