13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) 



This report provides information and data documenting a coastal processes project called the SUPERTANK 

 Data Collection Project performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, Oregon State University, over 

 the period 29 July to 20 September 1991. The objectives of the project were to (a) collect data to verify and 

 improve existing macro-scale beach profile change numerical simulation models, (b) collect data to develop 

 advanced hydrodynamic, cross-shore sand transport, and meso-scale beach profile change numerical simulation 

 models, (c) collect data to quantify performance of sandbars constructed offshore as a beneficial use of dredged 

 material, (d) test and compare sediment-sensing acoustic instruments in a controllred, field-scale environment in 

 support of dredging research, and (e) collect data to improve understanding of micro-scale fluid and sand motion. 

 SUPERTANK was conducted as a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional cooperative effort in which the 

 investigators shared instrumentation and expertise.
