The Accuracy and Error Sources of Radar-derived Bathymetry by the XMFit Algorithm

The coastal bathymetry is one of the most essential inputs for understanding, monitoring and modelling the coastal environment. A remote sensing technique called marine radar may overcome disadvantages of present monitoring techniques and has the advantage to obtain measurements with a high spatial and temporal resolution. A Fast Fourier...

Tidal Flow Separation at the Sand Motor

This study investigates the existence and character of tidal flow separation at the Sand Motor, a mega-scale sand nourishment at the Delfland coast. Tidal flow contracts at the tip of the Sand Motor, downstream the tip the flow diverges and flow separation could occur. In case of flow separation the diverging streamlines cannot follow the...
