【 摘 要 】

A new, efficient and cheap method is described for obtaining field measurements of surf zone mean water levels. The method applies manometer tubes rather than the traditional pressure transducers. Together with simple stilling well measurements of the water table the results obtained from manometer tubes demonstrate for the first time a complete mean water level profile, from offshore of the break-point to the back-beach region. While some previous studies have provided information about the average position of the waterline, the present study is the first to provide comprehensive field data on the position of the shoreline defined as the intersection of the mean water surface and the sand. The difference between average position of the waterline and the shoreline is not trivial.
