Waves
WAVES controls the wave climate input to the CEM longshore transport module (CEM).
Introduction
WAVES is an essential part of the original CEM model (Ashton et al., 200??) that has been componentized to consist of two separate components; the longshore transport component CEM and the wave component WAVES.
The original model was designed to investigate an instability in the shape of a coastline caused by waves approaching with ‘high’ angles (with the angle between deepwater crests and the coast > 45 degrees).
WAVES describes a simplified directional wave climate by two main input parameters: the asymmetry of the incoming waves angle and the proportion of high-angle waves. This model is not designed to accurately simulate a specific geographic location in detail but rather to more generally represent how a shoreline with highly mobile sediment may respond to varying wave angles. The value in this model is in the breadth it offers in representing how different wave climates can result in different potentially interesting shoreline configurations.
