Predictive models of nearshore hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and beach evolution perform poorly. This failure is largely due to the lack of field data to constrain models and to provide generalizable parameterizations of important procesess. This effort will provide data sufficiently complete to support model development and verification and constrain parameterizations for broad model application.
