| Research Abstract |
Applications of X-band nautical radars for coastal studies have become popular recently. Intertidal morphology and wave run-up observations an monitoring with an X-band radar during a storm event and calm conditions were conducted to show the effectiveness of radar system in coastal measurements under high wave conditions.
The radar system was operated at the research pier HORS, Hasaki Japan, and radar echo images were collected during a passage of storms and for calm condition continuously.
Analyses on radar echo images were done and (i)longshore distribution of mean shoreline positions and intertidal foreshore slopes, and (ii)temporal and spatial variation of wave run-up, are discussed.
The result intertidal bathymetry monitoring describes the seasonal changes of shore profiles. The shore profile becomes uneven under calm conditions forming cusps with wavelength of several hundred meters. Under stormy condition, cusps and other rhythmic features disappear and coastline becomes homogeneous.
