Mobility of sediments due to wave action on the continental shelf of the Northern coast of the state of Bahia
The mobility of surface sediments on the continental shelf has been investigated in this study by the use of a simple model which relates significant wave height and period (Hsig and Tsig) along with median sediment grain size (D50). For the Hsig and Tsig values used, sediment mobilization occurs to...
