Tidal Prism - Inlet Area Relationships.
The tidal prism - inlet area relationships for inlets on sandy coast established by M.P. O'Brien (1931 and 1969) were reanalyzed using his data and data published by other investigators. In addition, tidal prism and inlet cross-sectional area data developed in the Inlet Classification Study wer...
