Executive Summary | The variation of wave heights due to wave breaking, which is an important process of wave transformation during the propagation from deepwaters to shorelines, is studied by theoretical calculations with a random wave breaking model, laboratory experiments with irregular waves, and analysis of field observation data. A method of estimating the wave height variation in the surf zone is presented. |
