Abstract
0.05Pa), a uniform offshore profile develops that is different from the background undertow profile allowing cross-shore Lagrangian transport to develop, when including Lagrangian Stokes drift. The seasonality of waves and winds modify the diurnal sea breeze impact. Therefore, material is hypothesized to incrementally move onshore near the surface and offshore near the sea bed only during sea breeze events.
