Ve DATA 
The data collected during the experiments are provided in Appendixes A to 
D. Appendix A contains the hourly and daily data for each test. Appendix B 
lists the beach survey data, which are plotted in Appendix C, taken after each 
test. Appendix D provides 35-millimeter photos of the beach taken during a 
test with the waves stopped. 
1. Hourly and Daily Data in Appendix A. 
Table 4 is an example of how the daily and hourly data are tabulated in 
Appendix A. Column 1 lists the run-time over which the data were collected. 
Run-time is defined as the cumulative time of wave operation from the begin- 
ning of the test. A run-time of 05 10 means that up to that point, waves had 
been run at the beach for a cumulative total of 5 hours and 10 minutes. This 
would be the case even if the first wave had been run 2 days before. 
Column 2 lists the length of time (in minutes) waves were stopped to take 
overhead photos of the beach. The letters CFD or TC indicate that the testing 
was completed for the day or the test was completed. Between any two entries 
in column 2, the waves were run continuously.e For example, from the beginning 
of the test at run-time 00 00 to run-time 01 00 (see Table 4), the waves were 
continuously run. At that point the waves were stopped for 5 minutes to take 
overhead photos of the beach. The waves were then restarted and run continu- 
ously until run-time 02 00. 
Columns 3 and 4 list the water temperature and the water depth, respec- 
tively. These measurements were taken in the morning before the testing 
started and in the afternoon after the testing stopped. 
Column 5 lists the immersed weight of sand moved during testing from the 
previous entry in the column. A value is always listed with a CFD or TC entry 
since it was only at the end of the day that the balance of sand not weighed 
during the time the waves were running could be picked up and weighed. In 
Table 4, the value of 4,227 immersed pounds of sand is the quantity of sand 
transported from run-hour 04 00 to 08 00. This column is not a cumulative 
listing of sand transported. 
Columns 6, 7, 8, and 9 list the wave heights measured by gages l, 2, 3, 
and 4A or 4B, respectively. Section III discusses the locations of these 
gages, which are shown in Figure 7. Column 10 lists the breaker angles meas— 
ured from the Polaroid 4- by 5-inch photos of the breaking waves (see Fig. 
16). Column 11 lists the longshore current velocity measured by dye injec-— 
tions, as discussed in Section III. Column 12 lists the breaker type, using 
the following code: sg, surging; p, plunging; c, collapsing; and sp, spill- 
inge A double entry indicates both types of breakers were evident with the 
first type predominant. 
2. Summary Data Table. 
For a comparison of test conditions, Table 3 provides the average values 
of water temperature, wave height, wave breaker angle, longshore current 
velocity, and average longshore transport rate in immersed pounds per second 
for each teste Also included are the wave period and generator angle.
