Abstract

A 5 MHz multiple transducer array was used to measure wave generated bedforms near Duck, NC. The transducer array consists of 37 transducers with a center to center spacing of 1.2 centimeters. Seabed measurements were made with approximately 1 millimeter vertical and 2 centimeter horizontal resolution. Measured ripple dimensions are compared to three popular ripple prediction models. It is shown that errors of over 100 percent were found between measured and predicted ripple heights and lengths for all ripple models compared. Errors in predicting ripple steepness ranged from 37 to 55 percent.
