Abstract
The longshore transport environment at a coastal site is represented in terms of six parameters. The six parameters describing the environment are the two means and standard deviations that define the two log-normal distributions and the fractions of time the transport is positive and negative. Longshore transport rates calculated from longshore current observations depend on surf-zone width; thus the coefficient relating longshore transport rates to surf-zone conditions varies from site to site. Synthetic net transport-rate data at Indian River inlet, Delaware, was generated having the same statistical parameters as the observed transport rates.--Modified journal abstract.
