Abstract
Detailed fluid motions and bathymetric changes in the lacustrine nearshore zone at Wymbolwood Beach, Georgian Bay, Canada were monitored during storms to test theoretical postulates about the importance of low-frequency wave motions to nearshore circulation of water and sediments. Eighteen continuous-resistance wave staffs and two electromagnetic current meters were deployed along one shore-normal and two shore-parallel instrument arrays over a period of two months. During one intense storm, a mode 3, standing edge wave at 0.035 Hz was the predominant low-frequency motion. The offshore and alongshore irregularities of the post-storm bathymetry are not readily explained by alternative hydrodynamic interactions.
