Quantification of Two-Dimensional Wave Breaking Dissipation in the Surf Zone from Remote Sensing Data

A method for obtaining two dimensional fields of wave breaking energy dissipation in the surfzone is presented. The method relies on acquiring geometrical parameters of the wave roller from remote sensing data. These parameters are then coupled with a dissipation model to obtain time averaged two di...
