Wave Conditions at Barnegat Inlet, New Jersey, 10 November 1984.
Wave conditions at Barnegat Inlet, NJ, on 10 Nov 1984 are investigated because of a boating accident. The accident has resulted in a lawsuit against the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Waves at Barneget Inlet are hindcast with state-of-the-art numerical models including offshore wave growth and...
