【 摘 要 】

The temporal evolution of nearshore bar topography forced by incident, wind-generated waves is predicted by a two-dimensional (2D) model. Predictions are compared with observed bathymetry from Duck, North Carolina, USA, acquired by the Field Research Facility (FRF) of the US Corps of Engineers over a period of 17 years (1980 - 1997). The model simulations presented are seen to approximate well the formation of the most frequently-observed shore-parallel bars at Duck as well as dynamic changes in their pattern caused by storm waves and varying mean water level.
