Abstract

Nodal lines normal to the shoreline of infragravity low mode edge waves in the nearshore zone were observed with eleven wave staffs simultaneously with the nearshore current spatial velocity field on a gently sloping beach. About five peaks were found in the energy spectrum and their frequencies agreed well with cut-off mode edge waves [Huntley(1976)]. Based on the above observation, conceptual models of nearshore current patterns for the infragravity domain are proposed and general current patterns for the three domains are discussed by combining the horizontal patterns of Harris(1969) and the vertical patterns of Sasaki et al.(1976).
