Preliminary results field campaigns Egmond

To improve the knowledge of coastal processes in order to develop a detailed and accurate prediction of the coastal morphology, a study programme for coastal sediment transport has been set up in the Netherlands, called TOW. This study programme consist of theoretical studies, laboratory investigations and investigations in the field and is carried out by 8 Task groups. Some preliminary results were presented at the 19th International Conference on Coastal Engineering, wich was held in Houston, September 1984. This report contains the following papers, reporting these results: "Field investigations in the TOW study programme for coastal sediment transport in the Netherlands", by H. Derks and M.J.F. Stive ; "Wave kinematics and directionality in the surfzone", by J. van Heteren and M.J. Stive ; "Low frequency oscillations on the Dutch coast", by F. Gerritsen and J. van Heteren.
