ANALYSIS OF SHORELINE CHANGE ON SENDAI COAST USING EMPIRICAL EIGENFUNCTION METHOD

摘要

3-D morphological change on Sendai Coast, Japan has been measured for these three years. Empirical eigenfunction is applied to the present data set to detect predominant modes of beach evolution in this area. The relationship between primary two components and wave condition is investigated, and a simple estimation method is proposed for 3-D behavior of the coast.
