Alongshore Circulation

Alongshore Circulation is a coastal hydrodynamic process constituting a component of nearshore circulation systems, distinguished by the directed movement of water and associated transport of mass, momentum, and sediments parallel to the shoreline, typically driven by wave obliquity, tidal forcing, or wind stress gradients along the coast.
