Summary 



182. Use of two independent data sets from LWT studies is expected to 

 increase reliability of relationships derived between the incident waves and 

 features of the beach profile. Also, by restricting consideration to data 

 from LWT experiments (as opposed to small-scale experiments), it is believed 

 that scaling effects are eliminated and that the processes occurring during 

 bar and berm formation in the field are closely reproduced in the wave tanks . 

 Relationships developed from the LWT experiments can then be assessed for 

 their applicability to the field by use of the quality FRF data set.
