- Abstract
The article examines the daily to seasonal sequential cross-shore behavior by monitoring an intertidal bar and trough system on the beach of Noordwijk, The Netherlands over a 15-month period. The beach morphology was classified from low-tide Argus video images based on surface composition. From the classified images, time series of the landward boundary of the bar and the trough were extracted. The time series of the alongshore-averaged boundary positions described sawtooth motion with a period between 1 and 4 months, comprising gradual landward migration followed by abrupt seaward shifts.
