Profile response D2 and D3




Tests D2 and D3 looked at profile response with a tide and fixed low and high lagoon level, respectively. The major point of note is that whereas initial and end profiles on D2 were similar, the same was not the case for D3 (high lagoon). It seems that the high lagoon promoted substantial net offshore sediment transport, qualitatively similar to both C6 and C4, although here the zones of erosion and accretion were more substantial. I think it could be conclusively said that high lagoon levels promote offshore sediment transport, as expected.
