Abstract
Process-Response Models for Gulf Coast Barrier Island Breaching
Shea Penland, John R. Suter (1)
ABSTRACT
The analysis of 17 tropical cyclone impacts along the U.S. Gulf Coast leads to the following conclusions regarding barrier island breaching: 1) tropical cyclones are the mechanisms of barrier island breaching, 2) landward and seaward overwash flow can breach barrier islands, 3) storm track orientation controls the direction of barrier island breaching, 4) shore-normal and right-oblique hurricane impacts breach barrier islands by landward overwash flow, and 5) left-oblique hurricane impacts breach barrier island by seaward overwash flow.
