Field observations of Infragravity waves along the Belgian coast

Infragravity waves have been identified as driving force behind various nearshore processes including beach and dune erosion, the development of seiches in harbors, and wave-driven coastal inundation when not accounted for in the design calculations. These waves have been observed to cause extreme water levels and resulting damage in various locations around the world.Field observations and measurements are essential for understanding the behavior and impacts of infragravity waves, which are long surface waves with low and with significantly longer periods than the peak frequency of the incide...
